Ana Vitoria scored in stoppage time to lift Brazil to a 2-1 win over Canada on Tuesday in an international friendly. Ashley Lawrence's penalty kick in the 60th minute had seemingly earned Canada a draw, but hometown Brazil earned a corner kick after the 90th minute.

Although Canadian goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan stopped an initial header on the set piece, it ricocheted back into play and Vitoria kicked it for the winning goal in Sao Paulo.

The Canadian national women's team had won its previous five matches, including a 2-1 victory over Brazil on Friday in the first of two international friendlies between the powerhouse sides.

Beatriz Zaneratto Joao's goal in the first half gave Brazil the early lead. Canada has a 9-10-9 record against Brazil since they first met in 1996.
