The 38-year-old, who is her country's all-time leading scorer and will retire from international football this year, had been shown a straight red card in their group loss to Spain on July 31 after a dangerous challenge late in the first half. Brazil had appealed the two-match suspension to CAS, hoping to reduce her ban to just one game and be eligible for Tuesday evening's semi-final against the Spaniards."The Applicants sought the annulment of the Challenged Decision and a new decision establishing that the player serve only a one-match suspension," CAS said.
