Brazil's journey to the semifinals has been nothing short of thrilling. In their quarterfinal match, they staged an impressive comeback to defeat China 2-1. The match saw China take an early lead with a goal from Wu Yichen, creating a tense atmosphere for the Brazilian team. However, just 42 seconds into the second half, Greise Kelly made a crucial play, assisting Helena, who equalized with a powerful strike. Helena would go on to seal the victory for Brazil by scoring again, following a setup from Greise, after the latter hit the crossbar earlier in the game.

On the opposing side, Nigeria secured their place in the semifinals with a narrow 1-0 victory over Venezuela, thanks to a late penalty converted by Azeezat Oduntan. The Flamingoes showed remarkable possession throughout the match but struggled to find the net until the decisive moment, marking their second appearance in the semifinals of this prestigious tournament.
The other semifinal match will feature an all-Asian clash between Japan and North Korea, the reigning champions who are vying for their third consecutive title.
