Corinthians dominate São Paulo in women’s knockouts as 2026 Brasileiro final begins | OneFootball

Corinthians have dominated São Paulo in women’s knockout meetings, winning seven of nine ties, as the 2026 Brasileiro final begins on Saturday.

According to Meu Timao, across 16 matches in these ties Corinthians have 10 wins, three draws and three defeats, with a 28-14 goal record. This is their 10th knockout showdown.

The pattern began in the Paulista finals. Corinthians won both legs in 2019 for 4-0 on aggregate, then overturned a 1-0 first-leg loss in 2021 with a 3-1 win to take the trophy.

In 2023 São Paulo took a 2-1 first-leg lead, only for Corinthians to respond 4-1 to clinch it 5-3. In 2024 they won the Brasileiro final 3-1 away and 2-0 at home, before edging the Paulista semi-final 2-1 on aggregate.

The gap narrowed in 2025. São Paulo lifted the Supercopa Feminina after a 0-0 draw, winning 4-3 on penalties, then eliminated Corinthians 3-1 in a one-off Copa do Brasil quarter-final. Those are their only knockout successes in this rivalry.

That year Corinthians also advanced in two ties, beating São Paulo 2-0 then drawing 2-2 to progress 4-2 in the Brasileiro, and winning both Paulista semi-final legs 2-1 for another 4-2 aggregate.

Before 2026 they had met in five finals, with four titles for Corinthians and one for São Paulo. The first leg is at 16:30 on Saturday at Neo Química Arena, the return on 3 October at 16:30 at Morumbis, with São Paulo hosting after finishing the first phase above the Brabas.
