Inside Corinthians’ march to 10th straight final after two 1-0 wins over Bahia | OneFootball

Corinthians have released their behind-the-scenes film of progression to the Brasileiro Feminino final, sealed with two 1-0 wins over Bahia for a 2-0 aggregate. According to Meu Timao, it marks the Brabas’ 10th consecutive appearance in the showpiece.

The video opens in Salvador, with Emily Lima telling her players that the best way to respect Bahia was to impose their own game and score, as she handed the armband to Thaís Regina. The captain urged unity and intensity after perceived provocations in the previous meeting.

On the pitch in the first leg, Corinthians pressed early and Jhonson broke through. Bahia raised their tempo after the interval, yet the visitors saw it out, with Emily later noting they had expected Bahia’s quality and the impact of the crowd.

Back at Neo Química Arena for the return, the Brabas greeted young fans in the tunnel and played before 9,755, the largest crowd for the women’s game in Brazil in 2026. Duda Sampaio framed the annual pressure as a joy, pointing to long-standing investment and a group united in pursuit of an eighth title.

Corinthians started well, then after 30 minutes Thaís Regina was sent off on VAR review for a strong challenge on Wendy. With a player fewer, Duda’s low free-kick was pushed out by Yanne and Jhonson converted the rebound, and the hosts managed the second half. Emily hailed the supporters as decisive after the red card.

Corinthians now face São Paulo over two legs, first at Neo Química Arena on Saturday at 16:30, then at Morumbis on 3 October at the same time.
