Santos FC’s women’s football team was beaten 1-0 by Red Bull Bragantino on Sunday night (17). The match, part of the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship, took place at Vila Belmiro in Santos (SP).
The Sereias return to action in a derby against Corinthians in the third round of the Paulista Championship. The match will be played at 7:15 p.m. next Thursday (21), with the opponents hosting at Estádio Alfredo Schürig (Fazendinha), in São Paulo (SP).
After just six minutes, Evelin Bonifácio burst down the left wing and whipped a powerful cross into the middle. Near the edge of the box, Analuyza controlled it and, under pressure, quickly got her shot away, but sent it straight into goalkeeper Thalya’s hands.
Two minutes later, Rafa Martins received the ball in the attacking midfield area and, with space, decided to shoot despite being far from goal. The powerful strike was headed toward the top left corner, but Thalya made the save in two attempts.
In the 11th minute, Analuyza took a corner from the left and drove the ball hard toward the far post. The defense cleared it into Katrine’s path, and she hit a low shot, but it went wide to the right of the goal.
Ten minutes later, with no video assistant referee technology in the Brazilian Championship, referee Ruthyanna Camila Medeiros da Silva, from the Paraíba federation, failed to award a clear penalty to Santos FC. Even though she was well positioned, she did not spot a Red Bull Bragantino defender blocking the ball with an outstretched arm inside the box and allowed play to continue.
Midway through the first half, Leticia Santos received the ball near the edge of the area and tried a powerful shot. The ball rose a little too much and went over the crossbar.
In the second half, four minutes in, Evelin Bonifácio received the ball after a passing move through the middle and tried a placed shot. The ball rose a little too much and went over the crossbar, close to the top left corner.
Four minutes later, Suzane Pires crossed from the right side of the attack and sent the ball toward Carol Baiana, who was arriving in the middle of the box. The number 9 challenged her marker to get the shot away, but was blocked.
Then, in the 31st minute, Evelin Bonifácio received the ball in the middle of the attacking half with space to shoot. Her powerful curling effort was headed for the top right corner, but struck the crossbar before being cleared by the defense.
In the 40th minute, the referee spotted a handball by center back Ana Alice and awarded a penalty to the visiting team. Martina struck firmly into the lower left corner. Taty Amaro got a hand to the ball, but could not keep it out.
Deep into stoppage time, Evellyn Marques reached the byline on the right and sent in a dangerous cross. The ball was heading toward the net, but Thalya stretched to tip it over the bar.
