Corinthians Women share behind-the-scenes film after Cruzeiro beaten to reach 10th straight semi-final | OneFootball

Corinthians have shared behind-the-scenes footage of their passage to the Brasileirão Feminino semi-finals after two wins over Cruzeiro.

According to Meu Timao, the Corinthians TV film, released on Tuesday, follows the squad’s arrival and preparations in Belo Horizonte for the first leg and captures Emily Lima’s instructions and a relaxed dressing room mood.

Before kick-off, Lima addressed the group then invited centre-back Thaís Regina, who wore the armband, to speak. The defender recalled once facing Corinthians, said wearing the shirt had long been a dream, and urged team-mates to bring a winner’s edge, fierce intent and represent the supporters.

On the pitch, Vic Albuquerque struck late in the second half to take a 1-0 lead from the opener, celebrating with Tamires, Ariel Godoi and Ivana Fuso.

The return at Canindé on Monday began with a final team talk and warm-up, with Lima reinforcing the first-leg approach and telling the players the tie was in their hands.

Despite the scare of a Marília goal, Jhonson, Tamires and Thais Ferreira ensured a 3-1 home win, and the Brabas prolonged the celebrations with the traditional poropopó before heading back inside.

It marked Corinthians’ 10th successive semi-final. They will face Bahia on 13 and 20 September, with dates and kick-off times still to be confirmed by the CBF.
