Brazil Women came from behind to beat the USA 2-1 in the first of two matches, watched by a São Paulo crowd of over 31,000 fans.

Sophia Wilson struck the first goal just two minutes in from 20 yards out, after Trinity Rodman forced a turnover of possession.

Isabela crossed for Tainá Maranhão to head home the equaliser, and Beatriz Zaneratto exchanged passes with Dudinha before hitting the decider as early as the 14th minute.

Palestine beat Malaysia 2-0 in the Three Nations Tournament in Jordan, with Florencia Saavedra and Dalia Asad Halim scoring just seconds apart after the hour mark.

Four Nations Tournament hosts Zambia advanced to the semi-finals with a 4-1 win on penalties after being pegged back late on by Kenya and finishing tied at 1-1. They will face Zimbabwe in the final, who defeated Lesotho 3-1.
