Amanda Gutierres set for Palmeiras farewell, targets Paulista title | OneFootball

Amanda Gutierres plays her penultimate game for Palmeiras this Sunday, when the team hosts Corinthians for the first leg of the Women's Paulista Championship final. The forward, who has already won two titles with Verdão, spoke about the responsibility of playing another final and the chance to end this stint at the club with a second State Championship title.

"Reaching another final with this jersey is very special. We know how much a game against Corinthians in a final demands from us, especially in such a big derby. Playing the first game at home gives us a huge responsibility to impose our rhythm, to be intense from start to finish, and to build an important advantage. It's a game decided in details, and our preparation was all focused on being ready for this moment," projected the forward.

Palmeiras and Corinthians face each other this Sunday at 11 a.m. (Brasília time) at Arena Crefisa Barueri, in the first leg of the State Championship final. The return match is scheduled for the 14th.

Farewell Atmosphere

In October, the club announced the sale of the 24-year-old athlete to Boston Legacy in the United States, a team she will join after leaving Verdão. Palmeiras negotiated 80% of Gutierres' economic rights for $1.1 million (about R$ 5.89 million), marking the largest sale in Brazilian women's football.

"Experiencing this final has an even greater meaning for me. I know we are in the final stretch of the season and my time at the club, so the motivation is immense to give everything on the field. I want to enjoy every minute, help in the best way possible, and fight with this group for the second championship. Wearing this jersey in a final is something I will carry with me forever," she declared.

Last Thursday, after the draw with Ferroviária, which confirmed the Palestrinas' spot in the State Championship final for the second consecutive year, Amanda Gutierres was honored by Palmeiras for reaching the milestone of 100 matches wearing the Palmeiras jersey.

Amanda Gutierres joined Palmeiras in 2023. Since then, she has played 100 games and scored 73 goals. In her first season with the green jersey, Amanda became Palmeiras' top scorer in a single season, with 26 goals, surpassing Bia Zaneratto.

Additionally, she won a Paulista Championship (2024) and a Copa do Brasil (2025). The number 9 scored one of Verdão's goals in the 4-2 victory over Ferroviária in the national tournament final.
