At the 66th minute of Ecuador's opening match against Cameroon, with the score already 3–0 for Cameroon she was adjudged by referee Katalin Kulcsár to have fouled Cameroonian striker Gaëlle Enganamouit being the last defender and therefore was dismissed after received a red card. Ecuador eventually lost the match 6–0 with Gaëlle Enganamouit scoring three goals.[5] Moreira was suspended from Ecuador's next match against Switzerland, returning in the third match against Japan.
