Bia Zaneratto's goal gives Brazil a 2-1 victory over the USWNT in Sao Paulo

SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) — Bia Zaneratto scored the go-ahead in the 14th minute and Brazil was boosted by a boisterous home crowd in a 2-1 victory over the United States on Saturday.

Sophia Wilson scored for the U.S. women, who have lost two of their nine matches so far this year.

Wilson's goal came less than two minutes into the match on a left-footed shot from atop the box. It was her first goal for the United States since returning in April from maternity leave. Wilson has 25 international goals.

Brazil leveled the game in the 11th minute on Taina Maranhão's header to the opposite post. A short time later, the Brazilians went up 2-1 when Zaneratto took a pass from Dudinha and sent it over the outstretched leg of U.S. goalkeeper Mandy McGlynn.

It was the first of two friendlies between the teams. They will meet again on Tuesday in Fortaleza.

Mallory Swanson was on coach Emma Hayes' U.S. roster for the first time in 18 months, after the forward took time off for parental leave.

Swanson's inclusion reunited her with Trinity Rodman and Sophia Smith, who have not played together since the 2024 Olympics. Swanson scored in the 1-0 victory over Brazil for the gold medal in Paris.

Rodman and Smith started the match while Swanson was available off the bench but did not play.

Rodman was subbed out of the game in the final minutes of regulation after she went down and was treated on the field by trainers. Her injury was unclear, but she walked unaided to the sideline.

The matches are the first away from American soil for the United States since November 2024.

Marta was on the bench for Brazil, which has won five of its seven matches this year, but did not play.

The stadiums in Sao Paulo and Fortaleza will host Women's World Cup matches next summer. The United States will attempt to qualify for the tournament starting in late November at the CONCACAF W Championship.

Multiple people were shot Saturday near a busy community street festival in Toledo, Ohio, and a search for the suspects was ongoing as victims were taken to nearby hospitals, police said.

Toledo police officers responded to a report of a person shot near the Old West End Festival at about 5:30 p.m. When they arrived, they found multiple shooting victims, the police department said in a statement.

Police said “many victims” were transported to medical facilities but did not provide further details on the injuries and how many people were shot. Authorities also did not provide any details on what may have set off the shooting.

Kevin Berry said he was sitting in the neighborhood arboretum listening to live music with his friends when he heard a handful of gunshots ring out.

“Everybody hit the deck,” he said.

When he looked back up, he saw a gun being tossed to the ground less than 50 feet (15 meters) away from him. Police officers who were already on-site for the festival immediately responded to the scene.

Berry, who has medical training and served in the U.S. Navy, said he walked around the area looking for potential victims who might need help.

He said he saw at least five people with gunshot wounds.

“The folks who were hit were spread out around the arboretum area,” he said.

Mercy Health, which operates several hospitals in and around Toledo, deferred all media inquiries to the police department.

The Old West End Festival is a two-day celebration in Toledo’s historic district that includes live music, food vendors, home tours and shopping. Berry described it as the “kick-off to Toledo’s summer festival season."
