On Saturday afternoon, the Brazilian team defeated the United States 2-1 in a friendly played at the Neo Química Arena. Corinthians had three representatives among the starting eleven of the team led by Arthur Elias: goalkeeper Lelê, defender Thaís Ferreira and midfielder Duda Sampaio.
The three black-and-white athletes remained together on the field for much of the match. In the final stretch of the match, in the 33rd minute of the complementary stage, Lelê and Thaís Ferreira were replaced. The goalkeeper left the field after reporting muscle discomfort in her thigh, while the defender was preserved due to physical exhaustion. Lorena and Rafaelle entered their respective places. Duda Sampaio continued to play until the end of the friendly match.

Even with the Brazilian triumph, Lelê was one of the most demanded players throughout the 90 minutes and played a decisive role in ensuring the positive result. One of the most important moments came 11 minutes into the second half, when the archer managed to deflect a shot from Hutton. The ball even exploded against the crossbar before leaving, preventing the North Americans from scoring an equalizer.
In addition to the three athletes who participated directly in the friendly, seven other Corinthians players were called up by Arthur Elias for a period of training for the Brazilian team. The activities will take place between the 15th and 20th of June, in Itu, in the interior of São Paulo.
The list includes goalkeepers Nicole Ramos and Ana Morganti, right-back and striker Ivana Fuso, midfielders Andressa Alves and Ana Vitória, as well as strikers Jaqueline and Jhonson.
The duel held at the Neo Química Arena was just the first of two meetings between Brazil and the United States on this FIFA Date. The teams will face each other again next Tuesday, the 9th, at 9:30 pm, at Arena Castelão.
