Women's soccer: Brazil defeats Colombia in dramatic final to win Copa America

|
The Brazilian women's soccer team defeated Colombia 5-4 in a penalty shootout after a 4-4 draw following 120 minutes of play to win the Copa America tournament. The match went to extra time with a 3-3 score after an especially tense 90 minutes, with Brazilian legend Marta scoring the equalizer deep into stoppage time. The 39-year-old, Brazil's all-time leading scorer, completed a brace during extra time, but Colombian player Leicy Santos equalized in the closing minutes. This marks the ninth time the Brazilians have been crowned continental champions out of the 10 tournaments held since the competition was established in 1991.
