San Jose – Catarina Macario did not wait long to make her presence feel.
The player of the United States women’s football team, from Brazil who moved to San Diego at the age of 12 and played for Stanford at the University, benefited from a long race from Alyssa Thompson, who brought the ball into the box on a prolonged race that started all the way inside the American defensive.
And when the goalkeeper of Brazil Natascha overturned the rebound in front of the goal, Macario was ready to jump. She inserted the ball at 35 seconds in the match, giving the Americans an advance of 1-0.
But Brazil had not yet finished. After a few botched games on the back of the United States, the Kerolin of Brazil, wearing the n ° 10 jersey of the Superstar recently withdrawn Marta, found some space in the United States and beat the American goalkeeper Mandy McGlynn with a curling strike, equaling match 1-1 in the 24th minute.
And in the second period, Brazil took a late lead with the goal of Amanda Gutierres in the fifth minute of the second half. This late advance has resisted, and Brazil won the friendly match of the two 2-1 teams in front of a closed stringed crowd announced from 18,000 spectators at Paypal Park.
Macario was replaced by the match in the 58th minute.
