The team, coached by Bia Vaz, started with good passing and control of possession. Relying on tight marking, the side gave Ecuador’s attack few chances, with their first shot on goal coming from a free kick at the edge of the box that deflected off the wall. Midway through the first half, the Ecuadorians began to see more of the ball, but still lacked finishing effectiveness.
Brazil had chances through Maria Vitória, who controlled the ball after receiving a good pass down the right, and Marcela Bontorim, whose free kick was saved by the opposing goalkeeper. The team came back from the break with changes. The Canarinho tried to create opportunities with vertical passes and set pieces, but under pressure, the match ended 0-0.
