Sarina Wiegman\u2019s side fell to a narrow 2-1 defeat to the Copa America Femenina<\/a> champions in a friendly on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n An exciting City connection to the fixture saw our shot stopper, Khiara Keating<\/a>, earn her debut England cap.<\/p>\n In a stadium close to her heart, the 21-year-old earned her first senior international cap, making her the first minority goalkeeper to represent England Women.<\/p>\n It was a chaotic first half, which saw Brazil take an early two-goal lead through Beatriz Zaneratto and Maria Eduarda Rodrigues, before their captain Angelina<\/a> Alonso Costantino was shown a straight red card after her foul on Ella Toone<\/a> who burst through on goal.<\/p>\n In the second half, all of the game was played with Brazil pinned back and forced to defend as a unit.<\/p>\n Georgia Stanway\u2019s penalty halved the deficit, but, despite her ranged shot hitting the crossbar, and Alex Greenwood<\/a> also going close, England were unable to snatch a draw.<\/p>\n Both sets of fans brought the noise to the Etihad in what was an exciting night that saw two of the best teams in the world go toe to toe.<\/p>\n
