Corinthians reserves cruise past Taubaté in Paulista Feminino

By Daniel Keppler / Central do Timão Editorial Team

This Saturday, the 27th, Corinthians returned to the field for the Paulista Women's Championship. In a match valid for the tenth round of the first phase of the competition, the Brabas visited Taubaté, playing in their city at the Joaquim de Morais Filho Stadium, and with a strong performance, won 3-0, with goals from Juliete, Ivana Fuso, and Ariel Godoi.

With this result, Corinthians reached 27 points in the state tournament, with nine wins in ten games played, extending their lead over second-placed Palmeiras (who have one game in hand) to eight points. Thus, the Brabas now need only one more draw to be the first to secure a spot in the semifinals of the Paulistão.

Corinthians' Lineup and Absences

Coach Lucas Piccinato could not count on four players for the match: Andressa Alves (muscle injury in the back of the left thigh), Erika (muscle injury in the right thigh adductor), Jaqueline (trauma to the right foot), and Nicole (transition after muscle injury in the right rectus femoris).

Thus, the Brabas took the field with a mixed team, formed by Kemelli; Paulinha, Thais Regina, Letícia Teles, and Juliete; Ju Passari, Ivana Fuso, and Letícia Monteiro; Robledo, Eudimilla, and Ariel Godoi. On the bench, the following players were available: Rillary, Letícia Santos, Vic Albuquerque, Manu Olivan, Day Rodríguez, Duda Mineira, Rafa Rocha, Jhonson, and Ellen.

Taubaté's Lineup

Coach Arismar Júnior sent out a team composed of Yolanda; Carol Franco, Jissele, Jérika, and Rebeca; Andresa Ferreira, Andressa Soares, and Edilene França; Pimentinha, Andressa Lodi, and Kakau.

Refereeing

The referee was Pietro Dimitrof Stefanelli, assisted by Izabele de Oliveira and Vladimir Nunes da Silva. The fourth official was Rafael Gomes Felix da Silva. In this phase of the Paulista Championship, VAR is not yet in use.

First Half

Taubaté started by trying to press Corinthians, creating the first chance at two minutes with Kakau, but the Corinthians defense cleared the danger. However, after the opponent's initial physical imposition, Corinthians balanced the actions and began to control the game, maintaining possession and seeking to organize offensive plays.

Gradually, Corinthians' superiority became evident, and chances started to be created, until near the end of the first half, at the 37th minute, the first goal came: after an exchange of passes on the left, Ivana Fuso received the ball in the box, turned past her marker, and found Juliete on the byline. The left-back crossed, and the ball went directly into Yolanda's goal, opening the scoring!

The goal gave confidence to the Brabas, who kept pressing and, at the 42nd minute, managed to extend their lead. In a beautiful individual play, Letícia Monteiro spun past her marker and found Ivana Fuso free in the box to increase the score: Corinthians 2 x 0!

In stoppage time, Letícia Monteiro even hit the post, consolidating Corinthians' dominance as the first half ended with a two-goal advantage.

Second Half

The second half started similarly to the first, with Corinthians under early pressure from Taubaté, who threatened in the opening minutes, forcing Kemelli to intervene. Once again, however, the Brabas balanced the match and resumed pressing, until in the 24th minute, after a play built by Ivana Fuso, Ariel Godoi calmly received the ball in the box and scored the Brabas' third goal!

Next, coach Lucas Piccinato made the first changes to the team, bringing on Rafa Rocha and Ellen in place of Gisela Robledo and Ariel Godoi. The team almost scored a fourth goal at the 35th minute, after a play between Juliete and Ivana Fuso that was ruled out for offside.

At the end of the match, Piccinato made further changes: Day Rodríguez, Duda Mineira, and Rillary replaced Ivana Fuso, Letícia Teles, and Kemelli. Corinthians maintained control, with Duda Mineira and Day Rodríguez creating chances, while Taubaté wasted a clear opportunity with Ana Júlia one-on-one with Rillary. Thus, the match ended with a 3-0 score for the Brabas.

Next Fixture

Now, the Brabas will travel to Argentina to compete in the Copa Libertadores, a tournament in which they will fight for their sixth South American title. The first match of the competition takes place next Thursday, October 2, against Dragonas Independiente del Valle from Ecuador, at Estadio Florencio Sola in Banfield, at 4pm (Brasília time).
