The match could have resulted in a bronze medal for Brazil. The Brazilian women's water polo team's last performance at the 2007th Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro in XNUMX did not achieve the expected result.

After losing to the Cubans by a score of 6 to 5 (2x1 / 1x2 / 1x1 / 2x1), Brazil was left out of the Pan-American podium, ending its participation in 4th place.

Marina Canetti, the Brazilian team's center, hasn't scored in her last two games. The player wearing cap number 4 scored a total of seven goals for the Brazilian national team at the 2007 Rio Pan American Games.

The Brazilians deserve congratulations. For players who play a sport that didn't have any state or national events in 2007, meaning they lacked match rhythm, they performed very well, putting up a tough fight against the top teams in the Americas.
