Brazil ahead of the United States in the battle for gold.

Marta has been the best of the year six times in girls' football. However, this Brazilian never won an Olympic gold. This time too, the lack of rhythm of the team and the red card shown against Spain in the group stage caused many fears due to the ban of two matches.

However, Marta is finally getting a chance to make up for the regret of not winning a gold medal in the Olympics. Brazil reached the women's soccer final at the Olympics for the first time since 2008 after beating Spain 4-2 in the semi-finals in Marseille last night. They will play against record champions USA in the gold medal match. They beat Germany 1-0 in the semi-final and reached the final.

Spain were favorites against Brazil in the semi-finals in Marseille. Brazil lost to Spain in the group stage. Tomorrow, however, the Latin American team advanced at the beginning. Gabi Portilho doubled the lead in first-half stoppage time after an own goal by Spain's Irene Paredes in the 5th minute.

Adriana increased the gap in the 70th minute. Then Caroline scored the fourth goal for Brazil in the 90th minute. Two goals from Spain's Salma Parayulo only narrowed the gap for Spain. Brazil won silver medals at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics, losing both times to the United States. Marta will return to the match against USA in the final.

The United States, a record four-time gold medalist in the event, scored the only goal against Germany in overtime. Sophia Smith scored the only goal of the match in the fifth minute of extra time. Smith scored a pair of goals against Germany in the group stage. The United States last won a gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics. That is, the United States is going to have a chance to regain the gold medal.

The United States has been eliminated from the last sixteen in the 2023 Women's World Cup. That's why reaching the final in this year's Olympics is something special for them. "Actually, it means a lot to me," Smith said. The last year has been difficult in all aspects. I think in the new year we are showing the world that we never gave up the fight.'
