Brasileirão Feminino A1: Down to 10, Corinthians beat Flamengo in Rio | OneFootball

On Monday night (4), Corinthians regained the lead in the Brasileirão Feminino A1 by defeating Flamengo 1-0 at Luso Brasileiro in Rio de Janeiro. Jhonson scored for the Brabas in the first half and, despite pressure from the Meninas da Gávea after the break, Timão held on to the result even with one player fewer.

Corinthians had already been at the top of the table, but after São Paulo’s 3-1 win over Vitória on Saturday (1), the Tricolor spent two nights in first place. With the Brabas’ victory on Monday, they returned to the top.

THE MATCH

With more attacking intent, Corinthians started better and took the lead in the 11th minute through Jhonson. The Brabas controlled the match throughout the first half.

In the second half, the picture changed, and Flamengo began creating more chances in search of an equalizer. Pressure from the Meninas da Gávea increased from the 20th minute onward, when Dayana Rodríguez received her second yellow card and was sent off. With an extra player, Rubro-Negro had good opportunities but failed to convert any of them.
