International Friendly Report: South Africa v Brazil 05 September 2022

International Friendly Report: South Africa v Brazil 05 September 2022

African champions Banyana Banyana suffered a 6-0 defeat to Brazil an international friendly at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.

Desiree Ellis opted for Kaylin Swartz between the sticks, while Janine van Wyk, Asanda Hadebe and Mapula Nomvula were recalled after Friday's 3-0 loss at Orlando Stadium.

It didn't take long for the South Americans to find the breakthrough as Adriana, who scored on Friday, fired past Swart after just five minutes into the contest.

Brazil went close to doubling their lead midway through the first half when Ary Borges was played through on goal, however she was denied by Swart.

While the African champions were unable to trouble the Brazil defence, the visitors doubled their advantage on the stroke of halftime thanks to a strike from Debinha.

Brazil carried the momentum into the second half when Bia Zaneratto won a penalty after being fouled by Swart, which she converted in the 48th minute.

The fourth goal arrived three minutes later when Duda fired into an empty net despite the best efforts from Swart to deny Debinha seconds earlier.

The South Americans added a fifth goal just before the hour mark, when Bia Zaneratto's fell kindly into the path of Kathellen who nodded home from three yards out.

The visitors did managed to grab a sixth goal in the final 10 minutes when substitute Kerolin skipped past one challenge before picking out Debinha, who sent a towering header into the bottom corner.
