Manchester City's Kerolin Niccoli appeared in the Women's Copa America final, which took place over the weekend, as Brazil became champions once again in a dramatic encounter with Colombia.
Manchester City's winter signing Kerolin Niccoli had been chosen to feature for Brazil in the latest Copa America contest. She helped her side make it all the way over to the final showpiece, where Brazil took on Colombia.
Over the last month or so, we have seen the women participate in the European championships and also the Copa America. The Euros final took place a week prior, where a 1-1 draw and penalty shoot-out victory saw England defend their title over Spain and remain queens of Europe.
With England claiming Europe, it was to be seen who would do the same in South America. After weeks of games and hard-fought wins, the final match would see either Brazil or Colombia take the title.
The match was nothing short of drama. After the normal 90 minutes and also extra time, the score was an unbelievable 4-4 draw. Colombia took the lead on three occasions, and Brazil only took it once, and due to both sides' grit, penalties would be used to decide the champions.
A 5-4 was the scoreline win, and the winners were Brazil. Despite coming close to defeat, the Brazilians didn't give up, and it paid off immensely as they once again became Copa America champions.
We now have our two international winners, as England and Brazil take their crowns.
It has also been quite the achievement for Manchester City, who have had five of their players come out on top during these tournaments. For England, Lauren Hemp, Jess Park, Keating and Alex Greenwood were a part of the winning side, and for Brazil, it was Kerolin Niccoli.
Two incredible editions of the competitions have come to a conclusion and we now have the winners decided after a month-long display.
