Marta was sent off after being red carded in Brazil’s Olympic group finale against Spain on Wednesday.
The legendary Brazilian captain walked off the field in Bordeaux in tears after she was shown the straight red for a tackle on Spain’s Olga Carmona in first-half stoppage time.
Marta, a six-time women’s world player of the year, is playing in her sixth Olympics. The 38-year-old star has said this will be her last major tournament with the national women’s soccer team.
Brazil advanced to the quarterfinals despite the 2-0 loss to Spain, and will play France in Nantes on Saturday.
