Argentina came back from 2-0 down against Brazil in Recife to end tour with a draw

A comeback draw in Pernambuco

Argentina’s women’s national team drew 2-2 with Brazil on Tuesday, October 13, 2026 at Arena de Pernambuco, in São Lourenço da Mata, in the Recife metropolitan area, in the second friendly of the two-match window between the teams.

According to the official AFA report, Brazil went 2-0 up through goals by Zaneratto and Giovana Garbelini. Argentina responded through Daiana Falfán and Florencia Bonsegundo to close the tour with a draw after losing 3-1 on Saturday, October 10 in Porto Alegre.

The match also included a demanding stretch for Argentina: AFA reported that Sofía Domínguez was sent off after the equalizer, leaving the team to finish with one player fewer.

Why it matters on the road to 2027

The Brazil double-header comes at a specific point for the national team: Argentina has already secured qualification for the 2027 Women’s World Cup, a place confirmed by AFA after the 1-1 draw against Peru in the CONMEBOL Women’s Nations League.

The next Women’s World Cup will be played in Brazil from June 24 to July 25, 2027, according to official FIFA information. That makes facing Brazil away from home an immediate competitive reference point, even in friendly matches.

For Argentine readers, the useful takeaway is the full sequence: a defeat in Porto Alegre, a response in Recife, two different scorers and a finish managed with a numerical disadvantage. The draw offers a sign of resilience within the World Cup preparation process.
