In a dramatic match at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Brazilian football legend Marta received a red card during a 2-0 defeat to Spain, potentially marking the end of her illustrious Olympic career. The incident occurred in the first half when Marta's high kick inadvertently struck Spain's Olga Carmona, leading to her emotional exit from the field. At 38, Marta, who plans to retire from international football later this year, has been a pivotal figure in women's football, participating in six Olympic Games and earning two silver medals. The Spanish players expressed their admiration for her legacy, emphasizing that she should not be remembered for this unfortunate incident. Brazil's defeat leaves their chances of advancing to the quarter-finals uncertain, reliant on other match outcomes, as they finished third in Group C. Spain, now at the top of the group, has secured their place in the knockout stages of the tournament.
