GREAT BRITAIN 1- 0 BRAZIL

2012 OLYMPICS GROUP ST AGE, WOMEN’S

The hosts won the very first women’s international to take place at the ‘ new’ Wembley Stadium. Facing the Samba stars of Brazil at London 2012 – captained by the iconic Marta – the Brits dug in to produce a mature performance after Steph Houghton’s early goal and top their group with a perfect record. ‘ Inspire a generation’ was the tournament’s motto, and this victory was a fitting – and emphatic – result for women’s football in the UK.
