Brazil Cruises to Copa América Femenina Final After 5-1 Win Over Uruguay
So, here's what happened in the Copa América Femenina semi-final—and it was all about Brazil showing why they’re the defending champions. They absolutely dominated Uruguay, especially in the first 30 minutes, scoring three early goals and pretty much sealing the deal right there. The final score? A commanding 5-1 win for Brazil, and now they’re heading to the final for the fifth straight tournament.
It all started with Amanda Gutierres, who wasted no time and found the back of the net just 11 minutes into the match. Then, barely two minutes later, Giovana Queiroz added another one. And before Uruguay could even catch their breath, the legendary Marta stepped up and converted a penalty in the 27th minute. By that point, the Brazilians were cruising, and the match felt more like a showcase than a semifinal.

The second half saw Gutierres score again, this time off a perfectly placed free kick in the 65th minute. That gave her five goals in the tournament, just one behind Paraguay’s Claudia Martinez, who leads the scoring chart. Then, to cap it all off, Dudinha put the fifth goal away in the 86th. Uruguay did manage to pull one back, but honestly, it felt more like a consolation than anything else.
With that win, Brazil secured their place in the final once again. They’ll be facing Colombia, who made it through after a dramatic 5-4 penalty shootout win against Argentina the day before. And get this—it’s a rematch of the 2022 final, which Brazil also won, though that one was much tighter with a 1-0 scoreline. This time, the final will be held in Quito, Ecuador, at the Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado.
It’s worth noting just how dominant Brazil has been in this tournament historically. They’ve won eight of the nine Copa América Femenina titles so far, and they’re widely regarded as the powerhouse of South American women’s soccer. A big part of that legacy is Marta, who—at 39 years old—still continues to lead by example. She’s played in six World Cups and six Olympics and has scored an incredible 120 goals in 205 appearances for Brazil. Just legendary stuff.
So, with Brazil in top form and Colombia hungry for revenge, this final promises to be electric. All eyes are now on Saturday’s match in Quito. Will Brazil make it five in a row? We’re about to find out.
