In one of the most thrilling finals in Women’s Copa América history, Brazil defeated Colombia 5–4 on penalties after a dramatic 4–4 draw in extra time, clinching their fifth consecutive continental title and ninth overall. The match, held at Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado in Quito, Ecuador, was a rollercoaster of emotion, drama, and legendary performances—none more iconic than that of 39-year-old Marta, who came off the bench to score twice and inspire Brazil’s comeback.

Marta’s Magical Return
Having retired after the 2024 Olympics, Marta made a surprise return in May 2025 and proved once again why she’s a global icon. Her two clutch goals—one in stoppage time and another in extra time—turned the tide for Brazil and showcased her enduring brilliance.
“I asked God not to punish me so much… I missed the penalty, but these wonderful girls carried us through,” Marta said after the match.
Lorena Da Silva: The Unsung Hero
Brazil’s goalkeeper Lorena Da Silva was instrumental in the shootout, saving two penalties and holding her nerve to secure the title. Her performance capped off a tournament where Brazil remained unbeaten and resilient under pressure.
