Emily Lima could win first Brasileirão Feminino title after Corinthians reach final | OneFootball

Emily Lima could win her first Brasileirão Feminino title after Corinthians booked a place in the final with a 1-0 win over Bahia on Monday.

According to Meu Timao, this will be her second final and her first in more than a decade. Her previous appearance came in 2015 with São José, runners-up to Rio Preto after a 1-0 loss and a 1-1 draw.

Corinthians' recent pedigree in the competition is strong, they have reached every final since 2017 and missed out only twice. They were beaten by Santos in 2017, 1-0 and 2-0, then lost the 2019 title to Ferroviária on penalties after a 1-1 aggregate.

This season they have been flawless in the knockouts. Cruzeiro were dispatched in the quarter-finals, 1-0 at Arena Independência and 3-1 at Estádio do Canindé. Bahia were then edged 1-0 in both semi-final legs.

The first leg of the final is on Saturday at 16:30 at Neo Química Arena. The return is on Saturday 3 October, at the same time, at Morumbis.
