Brazil ended their South African tour on a high by thrashing Banyana Banyana 6-0 on Monday night at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
Debinha scored a brace as Adriana, Zanerrato, Duda and Kethellen all scored for the Copa America Femenina champions.
The game was used as preparation for the 2023 Fifa World Cup to be held jointly in Australia and New Zealand.
Banyana coach Desiree Ellis named three changes with Andile Dlamini, Janine Van Wyk, Asanda Hadebe and Nomvula Kgoale starting as notable changes from the side that lost 3-0 to the same opponents on Friday at the Orlando Stadium.
In the fifth minute, forward Adriana capitalised on a mistake from the back to give the South American nation a well-deserved lead.
In the additional minutes of the first half, Debinha slotted home a beautiful goal to make it 2-0, right in the bottom right corner after receiving a ball from Antonia.
Banyana went into the half-time break without registering a shot on target.
Brazil started the second half by attacking strongly. In the 48th minute, they extended the lead with Bia Zaneratto converting from a penalty spot after being brought down by Kaylin Swart.
The situation went from bad to worse with Duda recording her name on the scoresheet to make it 4-0 as the away side continued to be clinical in front of goal.
The defender Kethellen rose high to direct a header from a set-piece as Pia Sundhage’s side cruised to a 5-0 scoreline within 15 minutes from the break.
Debinha nearly made it 6-0 but she missed a goal attempt after good play from Kerolin.
The two combined well again with Kerolin delivering a well-sliced cross to find Debinha, who made no mistake to score her second goal in the match to complete a riot.
