Into the final! São Paulo see off Flamengo, into women’s Brasileirão final | OneFootball

São Paulo have reached the grand final of the Brazilian Women’s Championship. On Saturday afternoon (19), Tricolor confirmed their superiority in the tie by beating Flamengo 1-0 at Brinco de Ouro stadium, in Campinas (SP), sealing qualification with a 4-1 aggregate score — having already won the first leg 3-1.

The goal that secured both the win and their place in the final came in the 43rd minute of the second half, scored by Kesia Senna.

The Matchup

Red-and-black pressure in the opening half: Needing to overturn the deficit from the first leg, Flamengo took control of the game in the first half. The Rio side relied heavily on shots from medium range and had forward Cristiane as their main attacking threat. However, goalkeeper Carlinha kept São Paulo’s goal untouched.

Tricolor on the back foot: São Paulo struggled to build plays in midfield against the opponent’s high-pressure marking. The team looked to Serrana’s runs down the right wing, but created few real dangerous chances before halftime.

Late goal seals qualification: As the match was heading toward the final whistle, Flamengo’s defense made a mistake while playing out from the back. Mylena took advantage, won back possession, and set up Kesia Senna, who finished calmly past goalkeeper Vivi to seal São Paulo’s victory in the 43rd minute of the second half.

Final Scenario

Through to the final, São Paulo now await the outcome of the other semifinal between Corinthians and Bahia. Their rival from the east side of the city won the first leg 1-0 and only need a draw to set up an all-São Paulo derby in the final.
