Shortly after, in the sixth minute, Dulce Maria made her mark again. The Corinthians forward broke down the right wing, found Brenda, from Flamengo, with a precise pass, and the Flamengo player finished into the net to make it 3-0. The player stayed on the field until the 65th minute, when she was substituted.
