CBF sets dates as Corinthians face Bahia in Brasileirão Feminino semi-final | OneFootball

According to Meu Timao, the CBF has set the schedule for Corinthians’ Brasileirão Feminino semi-final against Bahia. The first leg is on Tuesday 15 September at 21:30 at Arena Fonte Nova, with the return on Monday 21 September at 21:30 at Neo Química Arena.

It will be only the third time this season the Brabas play in Itaquera. Earlier in the league phase they drew 2-2 with Fluminense and beat América-MG 4-0 there.

Corinthians have never lost at the Casa do Povo, with 28 wins and three draws.

They beat Cruzeiro twice in the quarter-finals and earned the right to finish this tie at home after ending the first phase second on 38 points. Bahia were sixth with 29 and eliminated Palmeiras, while Flamengo and São Paulo meet in the other semi-final on 12 and 19.

Corinthians could also host a potential final, as points continue to be tallied to set home advantage in the knockouts. The Brabas have 44 points, São Paulo 45, and if Corinthians win both legs and São Paulo progress but draw one, Corinthians would move top, as last year.

Emily Lima’s side are chasing their first trophy of the year after runners-up finishes in the Copa das Campeãs da Fifa and the Supercopa do Brasil, both under Lucas Piccinato, plus a Copa do Brasil Feminina last-16 exit to Ferroviária. They have seven league titles, six in a row.
