Raíssa Bahia stood out in her debut for the Brazilian Women’s National Team on Saturday night (11), in the 5-1 rout of South Korea in the FIFA Series. At Arena Pantanal, in Cuiabá, the left-back came on in the second half and provided the assist for Kerolin’s goal, Brazil’s fourth of the match.

“I’m very happy for the opportunity to be here. I was very pleased to have helped the team. Now it’s about continuing to work so that things gradually fall into place.”

In the move that led to the goal, she showed her successful connection with Tainá Maranhão, her Palmeiras teammate, with a precise pass that allowed the forward to break into the box and make it 5-1. Shortly before that, the Jacobina native from Bahia hit the crossbar with a shot from close range, in her very first match for the Canarinha.

After the win over the South Koreans, the Canarinha now turns its attention to the clash against Zambia on Tuesday (14), at Arena Pantanal, at 9:30 p.m. local time, in the second round of the FIFA Series.
