Kansas City Current forward Bia Zaneratto commented on the upcoming match against Panama.
“Our goal was to be very aggressive in marking from the beginning, from their kick-off. I believe we were effective in that, so we know that if we can repeat that in the same way, we can secure a high-scoring result. We hope to maintain this aggressive posture, with collective play, where everyone is always well positioned and focused on finishing better. We had many chances against Puerto Rico, and we know that against Panama, we can also create many opportunities,” said the forward.
The Brazilian National Team secured their spot in the quarterfinals by defeating Colombia 1-0 in the early hours of Sunday (25). Duda Santos was responsible for scoring the only goal of the match, maintaining a flawless record against the South American team.
The Brazilian team is currently in first place in their group, with six points and a two-goal difference.
