Throughout the night last Friday (27), Corinthians faced Botafogo at Nilton Santos Stadium, in the fifth round of the first stage of the 2026 Brazilian Women’s Championship, and won 3-1. The three points moved the Corinthians side into fourth place in the overall standings with 10 points — three wins, one draw, and one loss — with 12 goals scored and six conceded.
The goals for the Brabas were scored by midfielders Vic Albuquerque and Gabi Zanotti, as well as forward Jaqueline. The Brabas’ number 10 extended her lead as the team’s top scorer this year with five goals in seven matches. Jaque, meanwhile, held onto second place with three goals in six games. Vic, on the other hand, scored her second goal of 2026 and, on her own, became the Alvinegro’s third-highest scorer at the start of the year.

The first came in the opening half, when she received the ball on the left and crossed onto Gabi Zanotti’s head, who scored the Brabas’ second goal of the match.
The second came in the second half, when she was played in down the left side of the attack and delivered a first-time cross into the six-yard box for Jaqueline to arrive and finish into the back of the net, scoring the third for the club from Parque São Jorge.
