Three days following their first match against the USA Women's National Team at the 2019 SheBelieves Cup, the Nadeshiko Japan (Japan Women’s National Team) faced the Brazil Women's National Team on Saturday 2 March in Nashville, Tennessee.
In their second match of the tournament, Coach TAKAKURA Asako elected to start fresh players as she rotated seven players from the starting line-up of their match against the USA. In this match MINAMI Moeka and MIYAGAWA Asato made their national team debut.
It was Japan who was the aggressor in the early minutes of the match, as YOKOYAMA Kumi started the action by taking a shot from a freekick. In the eighth minute, NAKAJIMA Emi, who wore the armband in this match, struck a shot from distance, followed by an attempt made by MOMIKI Yuka in the 23rd minute.
