Corinthians striker hails win over Mirassol in Women’s Paulista | OneFootball

Corinthians went to the Estádio Municipal Manoel Francisco Ferreira, in Bálsamo, in the countryside of São Paulo, on the afternoon of this Wednesday (12), to face Mirassol in the sixth and penultimate round of the first stage of the 2026 Paulista Women’s Championship, and cruised to a 4-1 win. With the result, the Brabas moved up to third place with 10 points — three wins, one draw and two losses — with 14 goals scored and six conceded.

In an interview with SporTV right after the match, still on the pitch, forward Jaqueline, who scored twice for Timão in the match, highlighted the importance of the positive result in the state championship to climb the standings and, who knows, secure a direct spot in the semifinals — only the top two teams advance without needing to go through the playoffs — with teams from third to sixth place going into the playoff round.

“It’s very important, we needed this to keep moving up the table, and I’m very happy with the goals and the win, and now it’s time to work even harder because there’s already another important game coming up. Yes, definitely. Like I said, now we have to keep working to be even better in the next matches. We know we could have scored more goals today, and defensively we could have been better too. But I think that’s it — we have to keep improving so we can continue fighting in the competitions,” she said.

By the end of the round, Corinthians could drop to fourth place, since this Thursday (13), at 7 p.m., São Paulo, currently fourth with nine points, will host Santos FC — fifth with six points. With the two goals she scored, the Brabas’ number 30 drew level with Gabi Zanotti as Timão’s top scorer in 2026, both with 11 goals each.

At Parque São Jorge since 2022, Jaqueline has recorded 50 goals and 22 assists in 161 matches wearing the Corinthians shirt (124 as a starter), with 118 wins, 25 draws and 18 losses — a 78.5% success rate. In addition, she has won 12 titles, including the Brazilian Championship, Paulistão, Supercopa do Brasil, Copa Paulista and the Conmebol Libertadores.

After facing Mirassol away from home in the Paulista Championship, Corinthians will now turn their attention back to the Brasileirão Feminino. Next Saturday (15), at 5:30 p.m. Brasília time, the club from Parque São Jorge will visit Bahia away from home in the 16th round of the first stage of the national competition. At the moment, Timão lead the overall table with 37 points — 12 wins, one draw and two losses — with 40 goals scored and 14 conceded.
