São Paulo defeated Vitória 3-1 on Saturday night (1), playing away from home at Barradão in Salvador, Bahia, in a match valid for the 14th round of the Brazilian Women’s Championship.

With the result, Thiago Viana’s team moved to the top of the table with 32 points, one more than second-place Corinthians, who still visit Flamengo this round.

The Tricolor now need their rivals to slip up to stay at the top of the standings. Corinthians face Flamengo this Monday (3) at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

In control from the start

From the beginning of the match, São Paulo took an attacking approach and looked to control possession. The scoring was opened just eight minutes in, when Bia Menezes delivered a perfect corner and Bruna Calderan finished it into the net.

Still in the first half, the Tricolor kept up the pressure and scored twice more. The second goal came in the 29th minute, when Vitória’s defense turned the ball into their own net. The third came in the 36th minute after a good play by Aline Milene, who beat her defender and crossed for Isa to head home.

In the second half, the home team responded in the opening minute, cutting the deficit. São Paulo kept possession, but their opponents continued pushing for a comeback.

In the closing moments, in the 44th minute, the Tricolor were reduced to 10 players after Bia Menezes received her second yellow card. Even so, the two-goal advantage remained on the scoreboard, and São Paulo left Salvador with all three points to reach the top of the table.
