After a campaign that saw scant crowds in the stands across Ecuador, the cinematic final drew the biggest attendance of the tournament.

A week after England won the UEFA Women’s Euro final, Brazil also retained their continental title in a dramatic denouement decided by a penalty shoot-out.

Six-time world player of the year Marta has led Brazil to their ninth Copa America Femenina title. On Saturday, she came off the bench to score twice, including an equalizer in stoppage time, as Brazil came from behind three times before winning the penalty shootout 5-4 against Colombia.
