Corinthians had a good start and opened the scoring just eight minutes into the game. Gabi Zanotti received the ball at the edge of the box and, with her first touch, lifted it over for Belén Aquino to strike left-footed across goal and beat goalkeeper Kemelli. Timão extended their lead in the 19th minute, when Duda Sampaio advanced down the right and crossed, the defense failed to clear, and Gabi Zanotti finished. Kemelli made the save but gave up a rebound for Jaqueline to push into the net.
However, Fluminense responded in the 33rd minute and reduced the deficit. Patrícia Sochor won the ball after a challenge and took a shot from outside the box to score a beautiful goal, leaving goalkeeper Nicole with no chance. At the end of the first half, Karina brought down Belén Aquino as she broke forward, and due to the clear goal-scoring opportunity, she was sent off, leaving the Rio side a player down.
In the second half, Fluminense struggled with one less player and couldn't create many chances. Corinthians maintained control of the match and created good opportunities to increase their lead, but saw goalkeeper Kemelli prevent more goals for the black-and-white side.
In stoppage time, at 49 minutes, goalkeeper Nicole received the ball in the box and slipped, leaving the way open for Bruna Pelé to steal the ball and slot it into the net to tie the game.
