Marta Sent Off in Brazil's Olympic Defeat

Brazilian football legend Marta was sent off with a red card in Brazil's 2-0 defeat to Spain during the Olympic women's football group stage match in Bordeaux. The 38-year-old received the red card for a high-footed tackle on Spain's Olga Carmona in first-half stoppage time, leaving her in tears as she exited what could be her final international game. Brazil now faces the challenge of progressing to the quarter-finals without their star player, with hopes hinging on being among the best third-placed teams. Marta, who announced her retirement from international football at the end of this year, holds numerous records, including being Brazil’s all-time leading scorer and the top scorer in World Cup history. Despite her illustrious career, she has never won an Olympic or Women’s World Cup title with Brazil.
