Defending champion Brazil's dominant first half secures spot in Copa America Femenina final
Amanda Gutierres opened the scoring in the 11th minute, Giovana Queiroz doubled the lead two minutes later and six-time player of the year Marta converted on a penalty kick in the 27th for the Brazilians, who have won the past four editions of the Copa America.
Gutierres added a goal in the 65th off a free kick, giving her five for the tournament. She's behind only Paraguay's Claudia Martinez, who has six. Dudinha finished off the scoring in the 86th.
Brazil will play for the championship next Saturday against Colombia, which progressed to the final by edging Argentina 5-4 on penalty kicks on Monday. The match will be played at Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado, in the capital Quito.
It will be a rematch of the final of the 2022 Copa America Femenina that was played in Colombia and that Brazil won 1-0.
The 39-year-old Marta, who has played in six World Cups and six Olympics, has 120 goals in 205 games with Brazil.
The Brazilian women have won eight of the nine editions of the Copa America and are considered the best team in South America. Their best finish at the World Cup was runner-up in 2007 and they have reached the Olympic final three times, including in Paris 2024, where they lost to the U.S.

Injury sidelines Andre De Grasse from Canadian championship, Audrey Leduc wins women's 100 metres
Andre De Grasse is skipping the Canadian championship in Ottawa due to tightness in his hamstring. De Grasse, a seven-time Olympic medallist and the anchor of Canada's 4x100-metre gold-medal team at the 2024 Paris Summer Games, said the injury will keep him from competing this weekend. "Unfortunately, I won't be competing this weekend," De Grasse told CTV News. "I picked up a little bit of tightness a couple of weeks ago with my hamstring so I'm going to play it safe and not do any extra damage I need to do. I'll just be here this weekend signing autographs, doing meet-and-greets, taking pictures and just hanging out with my fans and making sure everyone has a chance to see me." However, the 200m Olympic champion from 2021 said he'll be good to for the World Athletics Championship when the event takes play in Tokyo from Sept. 13-21. "I have about five-six weeks, so I should be good. It's just a little bit of tightness in my hamstring so I don't want to risk it and make it worse," De Grasse said. "I've been getting a lot of treatment from the team doctors here, making sure I'm ready to go when it matters." On the track, sprinter Audrey Leduc of Gatineau, Que., won the senior women's 100-metres championship on Friday night, clocking 11.06 to top the eight-runner final at the Canadian track and field championships. The 26-year-old Leduc, who holds the Canadian records in the 100-metres (10.95) and 200 metres (22.36) — both set in 2024 — finished just ahead of Olympian Sade McCreath (11.09) of Ajax, Ont., and Jacqueline Madogo (11.21) of Ottawa, who became the 200-metres national champion in 2023. Olympian sprinter Duan Asemota of Montreal won the men's 100-metre championship in a 10.12 photo finish, just edging out Aaron Brown (10.13) of Toronto, who was part of Canada's 4x100-metre relay team that won gold in 2024. Eliezer Adjibi (10.21) of Ottawa finished third.

Herbie Farnworth blow rocks fans as fresh details come to light ahead of Ashes
English and Dolphins fans were left rocked on Friday night when star centre Herbie Farnworth went down clutching at his hamstring against the Warriors, but coach Kristian Woolf claimed he may be back before the end of the season. Farnworth has arguably been the best centre in the competition across the last two years and has been a huge part of the Dolphins success in 2025. Farnworth was also eyeing the Ashes series at the end of the year where he was looking to inspire his English side at home against the Kangaroos. Although that is all in doubt right now after going down clutching at his hamstring in the Dolphins' thrilling 20-18 win over the Warriors in New Zealand. Farnworth had already opened the scoring against the Warriors and had burst through for his second linebreak of the night in the first 20 minutes when he collapsed without any contact. And it immediately had fans concerned. 'This is potentially devastating for not just this game but the Dolphins' season. He's gone. The old sniper got him in fresh air. He ran past Healey like he wasn't there and there was only Tuaupiki to beat. It was two on one," Fox Sports commentator Warren Smith said. 'He was in about fourth gear and looked towards the fullback and then boom, it just goes as quickly as that.' Although Woolf has moved to offer some good news with initial reports suggesting Farnworth is looking at four to six weeks on the sidelines. The centre has scans booked back in Brisbane. "To lose Herbie early like we that's a big hit for us. To win the way we did, just that second-half, I thought were were brave," Woolf said. "It's obviously a bad it is we don't quite no yet. I would have thought at least four or six weeks." And 'NRL Physio' Brien Seeney also suggested it isn't as bad as it may have appeared, but Farnworth could be facing anywhere between four to eight weeks on the sideline. While the latter would mean he wouldn't return unless the Dolphins made a late finals push, he could be back before the end of the regular season. Although English fans were left concerned having watched arguably their biggest attacking weapon go down months out from the historic Ashes series against Australia. Farnworth was a guaranteed selection having torn Samoa apart in last year's two-match series. But there main attacking weapon should be lining up at Wembley in the first Ashes tour in 22 years. This is worrying - hoping this isn't as serious as it looks and Herbie Farnworth is fit and firing for the Ashes 🙏 — The Tryline 🏉 (@TrylineUK) August 1, 2025 Farnworth might be a doubt for The Ashes now mate — DeanC_2024 (@DeanC_2024) August 1, 2025 He's obviously the other centre. It will be him and Farnworth if he's not injured too badly. But if he is, then there's no one really to replace him. — Old Man Winter (@OldManWinter999) August 1, 2025 RELATED: Fans fume over Reece Walsh act as Wayne Bennett rocked over 18th man drama Wayne Bennett and Rabbitohs set for fresh NRL blow as player seeks exit Warriors coach stoic after thrilling defeat Jamayne Isaako scored in the final minute of the contest to give the Dolphins a much needed win to move into the top eight. Although the Warriors, who are also dealing with a brutal injury toll, now see their position in the top four under threat. The Broncos moved to 28 points after thrashing the Rabbitohs and the Panthers play the Titans on Saturday with the opportunity to move one point behind the Warriors. The Panthers are on a roll with a fully-fit side, while the Warriors were missing a host of stars such as James Fisher-Harris and Wayde Egan. And while Warriors coach Andrew Webster may have felt deflated after the thrilling defeat, he wasn't going to dwell on the loss. "There's so many good signs but it's hard to take obviously because it's such a dramatic finish," he said. "No-one is going to lie, you get your hopes up ... and then it gets taken away from you and that's hard, but we've got to move on."
