If Brazil had hopes of winning the women's Olympic soccer gold medal for the first time at the 2024 Games, their route to glory has become a lot more difficult to navigate. On Wednesday, during the last match of the group stage against Spain — in which qualification for the quarterfinals was at stake — Marta was sent off towards the end of the first half. Spain went on to win 2-0 and finish top of their group, while Brazil scraped into the quarterfinals as one of the best two third-place teams.
