Corinthians Women v Bahia: watch, team news, line-ups, referee | OneFootball

Corinthians host Bahia on Monday night (21) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in the second leg of the 2026 Brazilian Women’s Championship semifinal. The match will take place at Neo Química Arena. Alvinegro are the tournament’s most successful club, with seven titles – 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 – and have reached every final since 2016, the year the women’s team was reactivated.

In the first match, last Tuesday (15), Timão won 1-0 thanks to a goal by forward Jhonson midway through the first half. The clash took place at Arena Fonte Nova. As a result, any draw will be enough for the club from Parque São Jorge to advance to the final. In the first stage of the Brazilian Women’s Championship, it is worth noting, Corinthians had the second-best campaign with 38 points – 12 wins, two draws, and three losses – with 42 goals scored and 18 conceded. Bahia, meanwhile, finished sixth with 29 points and, in the quarterfinals, eliminated Palmeiras on penalties after drawing both matches 1-1.

In the Brasileirão quarterfinals, the Brabas knocked out Cruzeiro by winning 4-1 on aggregate – 1-0 in the first leg (Independência) and 3-1 in the second leg (Estádio do Canindé). Bahia, meanwhile, finished sixth with 29 points and, in the quarterfinals, eliminated Palmeiras on penalties after drawing both matches 1-1.

Probable lineup and absences for Corinthians

For the match, Corinthians are expected to remain without Ana Vitória, who is recovering from an abdominal injury. Erika, meanwhile, remains doubtful after feeling discomfort in her left knee during the warm-up for the first leg.

With that in mind, coach Emily Lima intends to start the match with the following lineup: Nicole Ramos; Thaís Regina, Duda Mineira (Erika), and Thais Ferreira; Gi Fernandes, Duda Sampaio, Vic Albuquerque (Jaqueline), Belén Aquino, and Tamires; Jhonson and Gabi Zanotti.

Officiating

The referee will be Deborah Cecília Cruz Correa (PE), assisted by Fernanda Kruger (MT) and Elaise Juliana Santa Ferreira (PE). The fourth official and VAR (video assistant referee) will be Jessica Aparecida Milani (SP) and Paulo Renato Moreira da Silva Coelho (RJ), respectively.

Broadcast

Corinthians fans who are not at Neo Química Arena will be able to watch the match on SporTV (Globo Group’s pay-TV channel), TV Brasil (subscription TV), N Sports (YouTube), and UOL (YouTube). After the final whistle, Central do Timão will bring a report on what happened over the 90 minutes, as well as coach Emily Lima’s press conference and mixed-zone interviews with the players.

Next fixture

After eliminating Cruzeiro and Bahia in the quarterfinals and semifinal, respectively, Corinthians could face São Paulo in the Brazilian Women’s Championship final. The two teams decided the tournament in 2024 – with Timão winning the title. Having had the better campaign throughout the competition, the Morumbis side will host the second leg regardless of whether Alvinegro or Bahia advance.
