Corinthians ready to face Kansas City Current in Teal Rising Cup | OneFootball

On the afternoon of Wednesday (8), on U.S. soil, the women’s team wrapped up preparations for the Teal Rising Cup semifinals in the United States. That is because on Thursday night (9), at 10 p.m. Brasília time, at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, the Brabas will face Kansas City Current. Last year, the teams met in the final of the same tournament, and the rivals came out on top, winning 2-1.

To conclude preparations for the matchup, at KC Current’s training complex, the Brabas took the field at pitch 1. There, head coach Emily Lima made adjustments to offensive transition plays and also worked on movement in set-piece situations. Since the change in the coaching staff, the Corinthians side has recorded three straight wins and one loss.

Due to the FIFA international window, the Brabas have a number of absences for the competition: Lelê, Thaís Ferreira, Gi Fernandes, Duda Sampaio and Ana Vitória — with the Brazilian National Team, coached by Arthur Elias — as well as Dayana Rodríguez and Gisela Robledo, called up to represent Venezuela and Colombia, respectively.

On the other hand, 19-year-old forward Jhonson was left out of the trip by technical decision. There are also four players in the medical department: center-backs Thaís Regina and Agustina Barroso, midfielder Juliana Passari, and winger Carol Nogueira. 

The Teal Rising Cup final, if the Brabas qualify, will be played next Sunday (12). The Brabas are coming off three straight wins this season and are in good form. In the Brazilian Championship, the club from Parque São Jorge leads the national competition with 13 points — four wins, one draw and one loss — with 17 goals scored and seven conceded.
