Debinha gives Brazil 1-0 win over Japan in SheBelieves

Associated Press  

ORLANDO, Fla. — Debinha scored off a pass from Marta in the second half and Brazil won the opening match of the SheBelieves Cup 1-0 over Japan on Thursday. Marta, who has been named FIFA World Player of the Year six times, came in as a second half substitute for Brazil. The game was Marta’s first since tearing the ACL in her left knee last March during a preseason National Women’s Soccer League’s tournament, which caused her to miss the entire 2022 season for the Orlando Pride. The teams in the tournament will play in the Women’s World Cup this summer in Australia and New Zealand.
