São Paulo oust Corinthians, reach Copa do Brasil Feminina semis – goals | OneFootball

The Soberanas of São Paulo put on a show on Wednesday night (24) and eliminated the powerful Corinthians after a 3-1 victory, playing as hosts at the Gabriel Marques da Silva Stadium in Santana de Parnaíba, to qualify for the semifinals of the Women's Copa do Brasil.

The quarterfinal classic was tense, but Tricolor handled the adversities of the match well. In a complicated first half, they took the lead with a masterpiece by Camilinha from a free kick. They conceded the equalizer shortly after, but settled the score in the second half.

Carol Gil put São Paulo women back in front right at the start of the second half, and Isa Guimarães sealed the deal at 3-1 in the final minutes, leading a counterattack and scoring a beautiful goal to secure Tricolor’s spot.

The other team currently qualified among the top four is Bahia. The matches between Palmeiras vs. Sport and Internacional vs. Ferroviária will determine the other two semifinalists of the Copa do Brasil. Afterwards, the four clubs will find out their matchups by draw as they chase the grand final.

ALMOST SOUR FROM THE START

Just 4 minutes in, defender Kaká had to clear the ball off the Tricolor goal line after a good header from Vic Albuquerque. On the rebound, Carlinha made the save and calmed the team. Corinthians started the match better, creating more chances to open the scoring.

Finally, at 28 minutes into the first half, São Paulo had their best chance of the game. The Corinthians defense made a big mistake and handed the ball straight to Bia Menezes, right in front of goal. The Tricolor fullback tried to slip it between Lelê’s legs, but the goalkeeper closed the angle brilliantly, making a stunning save for a corner.

On the corner, Lelê misjudged and punched the air, and on the rebound, striker Millene shot awkwardly, the ball going over the goal and just wide of the post. Shortly after, still before halftime, the São Paulo women found the back of the net—and in style.

MASTERPIECE FROM NUMBER 10!

Number 10 Camilinha took the free kick with extreme mastery, into the top corner and unstoppable for the rival goalkeeper, opening the scoring for Tricolor at 42’.

Watch Camilinha’s masterpiece:

The team didn’t have much time to celebrate and conceded the equalizer three minutes later. Jhonson sped down the right and delivered a beautiful pass to the far post. Vic Albuquerque finished well and tied the Majestoso at 47 minutes of the first half, sending the game to halftime at 1-1.

The Tricolor team showed they weren’t shaken, and just five minutes in, Lelê made another mistake on a Tricolor corner, and Carol Gil took advantage to smash the ball into the net and put the home team back in the lead. Watch below:

São Paulo managed to withstand the Corinthians’ pressure, who were desperate for the equalizer. Thiago Viana’s squad controlled the game well and bet on counterattacks at the end. And it paid off.

To wrap it up, at 44 minutes, Isa Guimarães was sent through, dribbled past the defender and the goalkeeper, and finished it off (watch below), making it 3-1 and sealing São Paulo’s qualification for the 2025 Copa do Brasil semifinals.

Since the semifinals of the competition are only scheduled for early November, Tricolor will first play another classic, against Palmeiras, on Sunday (28), at 5:30 pm (Brasília time), again in Santana do Parnaíba, but this time for the Paulistão. Then, in October, São Paulo will face the unprecedented challenge of the Women’s Libertadores.
