Brazil's tactical balance to be tested as Colombia rematch looms in Copa final

Brazil have cruised into the Women's Copa America final with dominant scorelines and solid performances, but their biggest challenge awaits in Sunday's rematch against Colombia, a side determined to dethrone the defending champions.

Arthur Elias's team has not leaned on star power to reach the final. Instead, Brazil's run has been defined by tactical balance: a disciplined backline, coordinated pressing, sharp execution on set pieces, and exploiting their opponent's defensive miscues.

Their success is largely down to a core of new figures, such as Amanda Gutierres, who is the leading scorer for the team in the tournament with five goals and plays a central role in attack. Her brace in their semifinal win over Uruguay underscored her sharp positioning and composure in front of goal.
