El equipo brasileño celebrando su bicampeonato de la Copa América 2014.
La selección femenina de Brasil conquistó este domingo por segunda edición consecutiva la Copa América de fútbol, luego que empató sin goles con Colombia, resultado que entregó a ambos países plazas para el Mundial de Canadá 2015. 
Dado que las brasileñas conquistaron el título de la Copa América, el único cupo del torneo a los Juegos Olímpicos de Río de Janeiro 2016 pasó a manos de las subcampeonas.
La selección ecuatoriana, que derrotó por 3-2 a la de Argentina, jugará en noviembre una repesca clasificatoria para el Mundial de Canadá 2015 con la cuarta selección de la Concacaf.
Brasileñas, colombianas, ecuatorianas y argentinas se clasificaron para los Juegos Panamericanos de Toronto 2015.
La goleadora del torneo resultó la brasileña Cristiane, con seis conquistas. Le siguieron la paraguaya Rebeca Fernández con cuatro y con tres las brasileñas Andressa Alves y Maurine; la argentina Mariana Larroquette; las paraguayas Jéssica Martinez y Lourdes Ortiz, así como la colombiana Hazleidy Rincon.

Jugó apenas 30 minutos, pero su ingreso pudo haber sido clave en la igualdad de Arsenal ante Tottenham. Alexis Sánchez reemplazó a Jack Wilshere cuando se disputaban 63 minutos en el encuentro en que los Gunners caían 1-0 ante su tradicional rival.

El tocopillano inició la jugada que finalizó en el tanto del empate de Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Por esto mismo, en Inglaterra destacaron la presencia del nacional, goleador de su equipo con cuatro tantos, en el desenlace del clásico del norte de Londres. "Alexis Sánchez le dio treinta minutos para ayudar a Arsenal a encontrar el empate", señaló Daily Mail.
El mismo sitio calificó con nota seis al nacional, agregando que "Desperdició una buena chance en el minuto 67, pero tuvo un rol importante en el empate".
En la publicación también aparece un mapa de calor donde se puede observar el movimiento de Sánchez durente los minutos que actuó.

En tanto, Mirror destacó que Tottenham ganaba, pero sólo hasta que el ex Barcelona ingresó al partido. "Alexis volvió a ser protagonista de Arsenal".

LIZ SMITH HIEBERT:
CONCACAF champion Liz Smith Hiebert represented Canada at the FIFA Women’s World Cup USA 1999™. It was her winning goal at the 1998 CONCACAF Women’s Championship that secured Canada its first continental title, the lone goal of a 1:0 win over Mexico at Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke. Over a five-year career with the national team, Smith made 22 appearances, including 16 straight from 1996 to 1999. She was a Jubilee Trophy national winner with her hometown Edmonton Angels in 1995. She in fact celebrates her birthday today on 25 September.
