A seleção brasileira sub-17 perdeu para a Nigéria por 3 a 1 na semifinal da Copa do Mundo Feminina disputada no Marrocos, nesta quarta-feira (4), e agora vai disputar o terceiro lugar contra a Coreia do Norte.
A disputa pelo bronze acontece no sábado (7), às 12h de Brasília, no Complexo de Futebol Mohammed VI, em Rabat. A final será Nigéria x Japão, também no sábado, às 15h30.
O time brasileiro vinha de uma campanha sem derrotas até a semifinal. Na primeira etapa, a Nigéria tomou a iniciativa e criou as melhores chances, enquanto a seleção teve dificuldade para construir jogadas ofensivas. A goleira Nathy fez defesas importantes e segurou o placar até o intervalo.
O placar foi aberto aos dez minutos do segundo tempo, por Queen Joseph. Aos 25, saiu o segundo gol nigeriano, de Bashiru, depois de um escanteio. Aos 34, a atacante marcou de novo — driblou a marcação dentro da área e finalizou cruzado, fazendo 3 a 0.
O Brasil descontou pouco antes dos acréscimos. O gol saiu de um cruzamento de Yasmin Queiroz pela direita, achando Greise Kelly na área; ela subiu para cabecear e venceu Jane Ijirgho, fechando o placar em 3 a 1.
A seleção ainda busca sua primeira medalha na história do Mundial Sub-17. Em 2025, o time terminou em quarto lugar, depois de um empate em 1 a 1 com o México e de uma derrota nos pênaltis.
