Sereias da Vila begin second half with win over Taubaté in the Paulistão | OneFootball

The Sereias da Vila began the second half of 2026 with a win in the Campeonato Paulista! On Friday night (17), Santos FC’s women’s football team beat Taubaté 1-0, with a goal scored by Rafa Andrade. The match, valid for the fourth round of the state championship, was hosted by Santos at Bruno José Daniel Stadium in Santo André (SP) and marked the return of competition after the break for the Men’s World Cup.

Now, Peixe return to the field in the Brazilian Championship, in an away match against América Mineiro. The game is for the 13th round and is scheduled for 7 p.m. next Friday (24), at Arena Independência, in Belo Horizonte (MG).

The Sereias started the match pressing their opponents in the attacking half. In the fourth minute, Katrine received a pass on the left edge of the penalty area, flicked the ball over a defender and, with the ball still in the air, hit a powerful shot. Well positioned, goalkeeper Yolanda made the save in two attempts.

Ten minutes later, Santos had a free kick on the left flank of the attacking field. Rafa Andrade spotted Katrine unmarked at the edge of the box and quickly sent the ball her way. Wearing number 97, Katrine controlled it on her chest and hit it first time, but was denied again by the goalkeeper.

Past the midway point of the first half, Analuyza received the ball on the left side of the penalty area, controlled it, and then curled a shot. The powerful effort was heading toward the top right corner, but was once again stopped by the opposing goalkeeper.

In the 30th minute, after a cross into the area defended by Taubaté, the ball was cleared toward Larissa Vasconcelos. From the left, she hit a low shot toward the left corner, but it went straight into Yolanda’s hands.

Then, in the 44th minute, Analuyza controlled the ball at the edge of the area and used a short dribble to get past her marker, creating space to shoot. The left-footed effort did not come off as the Menina da Vila wanted, and the ball went wide to the left of goal.

In first-half stoppage time, Rafa Andrade opened the scoring for the Sereias, sending them into halftime with the lead. She met a perfect cross from Evelin Bonifácio and, from the right side of the penalty area, unleashed a thunderous shot that bulged the net in the right corner.

In the second half, still in the 10th minute, Larissa Vasconcelos burst down the right wing and, with a perfect cross, picked out Analuyza’s head. The Menina da Vila rose well to finish, but her header struck the right post.

In the 12th minute, Evelin Bonifácio controlled the ball in the attacking midfield and, even from distance, tried her luck with a shot on goal. The ball rose too much and went over the crossbar.

Soon after, the Sereias da Vila thought they had scored a second goal, but it was ruled out for offside after a VAR review. Larissa Vasconcelos, in an offside position, received a pass on the right side of the area and crossed for Analuyza to head into the net.

In the 17th minute, Evelin Bonifácio was brought down at the edge of the box and Peixe had a dangerous free kick. From the set piece, Analuyza aimed for the top right corner, but sent the ball just over the crossbar.

In the next attack, Analuyza played a beautiful through ball for Evelin to race into the area down the left side. Inside the box, number 34 hit a powerful cross-shot that struck the outside of the net near the top left corner.

In the closing stages of the match, Suzane Pires received her second yellow card from referee Fernanda dos Santos Ignacio de Souza and was sent off. With the opposing team well organized defensively, the match ended with no further goals.
