Brazil 4-1 IR Iran
Brazil goals: Ana Luiza (15), Debora Vanin (17), Emilly (21 & 24)
Iran goal: Mahsa Kamali (25)
Player of the Match: Emilly
The telepathy between Ana Luiza and Emilly proved decisive as Brazil overcame IR Iran in their FIFA Women’s World Cup Philippines 2025™ curtain-raiser. The brilliance of goalkeepers Bianca and Farzaneh Tavasoli kept deadlock intact early on, but it was broken when Ana Luiza fired home an Emilly pass. Scorer then turned provider, Ana Luiza setting up goals for Debora Vanin and Emilly, who completed her double following delightful play from Taty. Mahsa Kamali got one back for Iran.
Brazil will now encounter Italy in a blockbuster battle on Wednesday, while Iran will play Panama.
