Sereias da Vila start second half with win over Taubaté in 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 team beat Taubaté 1-0, with the 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 competitions after the break for the men’s World Cup.

Now, Peixe returns to the field in the Brazilian Championship, in an away match against América Mineiro. The game, valid for the 13th round, 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 to the left of the edge of the penalty area, chipped a defender and, with the ball still in the air, unleashed a powerful shot. Well positioned, goalkeeper Yolanda made the save in two attempts.

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

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

At the 30-minute mark, after a cross into the Taubaté penalty area, the ball was cleared in the direction of Larissa Vasconcelos. From the left, she struck 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 quick 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 the first minute of first-half stoppage time, Rafa Andrade opened the scoring for the Sereias, giving them the lead going into halftime. She met a perfect cross from Evelin Bonifácio and, from the right side of the penalty area, blasted the ball into the right corner of the net.

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

At 12 minutes, Evelin Bonifácio controlled the ball in the middle third of the attacking half 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 did score a second goal, but it was ruled out for offside after a VAR review. Larissa Vasconcelos, in an offside position, received the ball on the right side of the box and crossed for Analuyza to head into the net.

At 17 minutes, Evelin Bonifácio was brought down at the edge of the penalty area 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 delivered a lovely through ball for Evelin to race into the area down the left wing. Inside the box, number 34 hit a powerful low cross-shot that found the outside of the net near the 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 without any further goals.
