In addition to the top spot, the result could also influence Corinthians’ path in the knockout stage. The top four teams from each group advance to the quarterfinals, and the matchups are determined by the positions earned in the qualifying stage.

Brabinhas defend unbeaten run

Corinthians enter their final group-stage match still unbeaten in the state competition. The campaign began with a 0-0 draw against Ferroviária. Since then, the team coached by Igor Freire has racked up four straight wins.

The first came in an 8-0 rout of Flamengo de Guarulhos. Then the Brabinhas beat Teal Rising Academy 4-1 and São José 4-0. In the most recent round, another emphatic scoreline: 8-0 against Taubaté.

With those results, Timão have four wins and one draw in five matches, along with 24 goals scored and only one conceded. The team therefore heads into the clash with Audax defending not only first place, but also their unbeaten record in the competition.

Probable lineup

To face Audax, Igor Freire is expected to keep the same lineup that started Corinthians’ last match in the tournament. Thus, the Brabinhas’ probable lineup is: Maryah; Nara, Laryssa Lorrane, Sophia Ferreira and Gimenez; Elohá, Sophia Furtado and Maria Paula; Nay, Lara Raquele and Lívia Metzker.

Refereeing crew

The Paulista Football Federation appointed Roberta Alessandra Maia Soares to officiate the match. Teresa Nawana Oliveira Kennedy and Larissa Santos de Azevedo will be the assistant referees, while Douglas Nascimento Lopes will serve as the fourth official. The match will not have VAR.

The next stage will be played over two legs. The team with the better record in the qualifying phase will host the second leg.
