It’s knockout day! This Saturday (12), Flamengo and São Paulo play the first leg of the Women’s Brasileirão semifinal. Kickoff is at 4:30 PM (Brasília time) at Estádio Luso-Brasileiro in Rio de Janeiro. The match will be broadcast by TV Globo across Brazil, as well as shown on SporTV and GETV.

After finishing fifth in the first stage, Flamengo come into the clash on a high after eliminating Ferroviária in the quarterfinals in a thrilling tie. After winning the first leg 1-0 at home, Mengão held on for a 2-2 draw in Araraquara, even with one player less for practically the entire second half.

On the other hand, São Paulo are the big favorites for the title. The team from Morumbi finished first in the first stage and got past Grêmio in the quarterfinals with a scoreless draw in Rio Grande do Sul and a 2-0 win at Estádio Brinco de Ouro da Princesa in Campinas.

UNBEATEN RUN

Both teams are in great form in the Brazilian Women’s Championship. Flamengo have gone five matches without losing. São Paulo’s run is even longer, with nine games unbeaten.

HOW DID IT GO IN THE FIRST STAGE?

This Saturday’s match (12) will be something of a rematch. After all, in the first stage, São Paulo beat Flamengo 2-1 in a match played at CT de Cotia, the São Paulo club’s home training center. On that occasion, Isa Guimarães and Duda Serrana scored for the home side, while Fernandinha pulled one back for the Rubro-Negro.

WHEN IS THE SECOND LEG?

Flamengo and São Paulo will face each other again next Saturday (19) at Estádio Brinco de Ouro da Princesa in Campinas. Whoever advances will face the winner of Corinthians vs Bahia. Those teams meet on Tuesday (15) at Fonte Nova, and again on September 21 at Neo Química Arena.

AUTHOR’S OPINION

— São Paulo are the favorites, but Flamengo have what it takes to go through. In the previous round, for example, Grêmio, who are weaker than Mengão, made the São Paulo side work hard for qualification. If Mengão are inspired in these two semifinal Saturdays, they can pull off a surprise and secure a place in the final —, said Pedro Paulo Catonho, journalist for Coluna do Fla.
