First half

Corinthians began the match occupying the attacking half and had the first chance with Gabi Jordi. The midfielder received the ball through the middle and tried her luck from distance, but her shot went over the opponent’s goal.

CORINTHIANS GOAL: In the 11th minute, the black-and-white pressure resulted in the opening goal. After a mistake by Scaramela while playing out from the back, Gabi Jordi regained possession and drove toward the box. Wearing the No. 7 shirt, she went one-on-one with goalkeeper Júlia and finished to put the Brabinhas ahead: 1-0.

Corinthians remained on top and threatened again with Helô Camargo, who advanced through the middle, got past her marker, and tried a shot, but missed the target. In the 17th minute, the Brabinhas found the net again. Rafa Rocha played the ball to Gabi Jordi, who flicked it on with a header and found Manu Teixeira. The forward finished into the goal, but she was offside and the play was disallowed.

CORINTHIANS GOAL: Shortly after, Mel burst into the box and was brought down by the defense, leading the referee to award a penalty. Gabi Pires took the kick and placed it into the goalkeeper’s top left corner to extend the lead: 2-0.

Even with Corinthians in control, Audax managed to pull one back in the 39th minute. On a counterattack, Sarah received the ball in space and tried a long-range shot, lobbing Bianca to score the hosts’ first goal.

Before halftime, Manu Teixeira put the ball in the net again after a move built by Rafa Rocha and Helô Camargo. However, the referee flagged Helô offside at the start of the play. So the teams went into the locker room with Corinthians leading 2-1.

Second half

CORINTHIANS GOAL: The Brabinhas needed just one minute to extend the lead after the break. Mel crossed into the box and found Clarinha unmarked. The defender rose for a header and scored the black-and-white side’s third goal: 3-1.

Soon after, Júlia Passaro made the team’s first substitution, bringing on Dulce Maria for Glória Gasparini.

CORINTHIANS GOAL: After having two goals disallowed in the first half, Manu Teixeira finally got on the scoresheet. Helô Camargo received the ball from Laura and found the forward in behind. Wearing the No. 9 shirt, she chipped the defender and finished past the goalkeeper to increase the advantage: 4-1.

CORINTHIANS GOAL: Right after that, Helô Camargo took a free kick and forced Júlia to push the ball out for a corner. From the set piece, Clarinha threatened the opponent’s goal and Gabi Jordi appeared near the goal line to bundle it into the net and score her second of the match: 5-1.

With the lead established, Corinthians began managing the match more, while Audax struggled to threaten Bianca’s goal.

CORINTHIANS GOAL: In the 34th minute, Raissa Santos found Hariadini advancing down the right side. Wearing the No. 14 shirt, she spotted the goalkeeper off her line and finished with a lob to turn the win into a rout: 6-1.

In the closing stages, Júlia Passaro also brought on Larissa Alencar and Emily in place of Rafa Rocha and Mel. Dulce Maria had a chance to score the seventh, but was denied by a good save from the opposing goalkeeper.

With no further changes to the score, Corinthians sealed the 6-1 win and claimed its seventh consecutive victory in the Paulista Women’s Under-20 Championship.
