Corinthians ahead
Predominant start of the match for San Paolo with surprising intensity. Especially since Corinthians is the team with a winning record in the tournament with consecutive titles. However, even playing at home, the team had difficulties, especially in maintaining ball possession.
In the 5th minute, after a free kick from Tricolor in the area, Timão’s goalkeeper, Kemelli, tries to get in and succeeds. Aline Milene had an opportunity to score, but he shot it out. The guests almost scored on the rebound. Brabas adjusts the marking. Eleven minutes later, with a deep pass, Tamires shares it with the opponent and the ball is alive. So the center forward Jheniffer takes advantage of it, invades the area and gives Corinthians the lead on the scoreboard. San Paolo grew, started finishing more frequently, but without being careful.
Second phase with two laps
In the 4th minute of the second half Dudinha manages to get past the mark and crosses into the area. Mariana Santos, who came on at half-time, won the marker, went up on her own and scored with a header. Subsequently the clash became more dynamic. Tamires runs down the left wing of the attack and serves Duda Sampaio on the edge of the area. The number 27 shirt tries to finish and hits goalkeeper Carlinha’s post. However, the Tricolores Paulistas managed to change the situation. Left back Bia Menezes takes advantage of an opponent’s control error, charges into the area and hits a beautiful shot into the corner in the 18th minute.
San Paolo was not satisfied with the lead, it maintained its attacking posture and did not give the hosts any space to try to score an equalizer. In the 45th minute Corinthians’ best chance came from a free kick in the area. The Italian goalkeeper Carlinha made a mistake, the ball fell to Jaqueline, who wasted the opportunity by finishing badly.
The guests still have the possibility to expand with Dudinha on the left attacking flank. However, due to wear and tear, he did not make the best choice. In the next play, Brabas went on the attack and managed to equalize with Victória Albuquerque with extreme opportunism in the area, after defender Ana Alice made a bad clearance. Corinthians didn’t give up and even in injury time managed to make a comeback. In the 52nd minute, after a tackle, the ball fell to Jaqueline who redeemed herself and scored the home team’s third goal.
