MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Brazil, down to 10 players, hung on to win 2-1 in a friendly Saturday in the first game for England since it retained the women’s European Championship.
Coach Sarina Wiegman’s England team paid the price for a poor start as Brazil’s Bia Zaneratto and Dudinha scored early goals.
The sending-off of Brazil captain Angelina after 21 minutes gave England a way back in, but Georgia Stanway’s second-half penalty was all her team had to show for a spirited response.
Alex Greenwood and Stanway both hit the woodwork among a plethora of chances as Brazil held on.
The game had begun in a party atmosphere after England paraded the trophy it won at Euro 2025 to a crowd of more than 37,000. It next faces Australia on Tuesday.
