Monday night (27) was special for Nicolly: she scored two goals in Brazil’s 5-3 win over Uruguay in the South American Women’s U-17 Championship. The forward, who also won the penalty that led to the Canarinha’s first goal, reflected on the match and celebrated her achievements.

“It was a very good game, both teams played well and, fortunately, we got the result. I’m extremely happy to have scored these two goals and to have helped the team,” she said.

“We had a good first half, but the second was even better, because Uruguay sat back a lot and we had to be patient to score the goals,” she added.
