Juliete starts for Corinthians after more than 40 days in 2-1 loss to São Paulo | OneFootball

Corinthians were beaten 2-1 by São Paulo in Saturday’s first leg of the Brasileirão Feminino final, as Juliete returned to the starting XI after more than 40 days. The No 22 lined up as a third centre-back alongside Duda Mineira and Thaís Ferreira.

According to Meu Timao, it was her first start since last month. Her last start in the national league was on 26 July, a 4-0 win over Vitória. She then began on 12 August in the Campeonato Paulista, a 4-1 victory over Mirassol, and since then had only featured in the first-leg semi-final win over Bahia, 1-0.

She was used out of position because of shortages at centre-back. Captain Thaís Regina was sent off in the previous match against Bahia, while Erika has discomfort in her left knee. The only specialist centre-back available is Agustina, signed at the start of the season, who has not played in 2026.

This Majestoso appearance took Juliete to 23 outings for Corinthians this season, 13 of them starts. Across those games, the team have 16 wins, one draw and six defeats, a 71.01% success rate.

Corinthians now have a week to prepare for the return leg. The match is on Saturday at 16:30 at Morumbis. São Paulo hold the advantage of a draw, while a Brabas win by one goal would force penalties.
