Sereias spurn chances and lose 1-0 to São Paulo in 6th Paulistão | OneFootball

The Sereias da Vila created chances, hit the woodwork twice, and even missed a penalty, but ended up suffering a 1-0 defeat to São Paulo on Thursday night (13) at Gabriel Marques da Silva Stadium, in Santana de Parnaíba (SP), in the 6th round of the 2026 Paulista Women’s Championship.

With the setback, Peixe remains on six points and in sixth place, still inside the qualification zone for the knockout stage of the state tournament. In the 7th and final round of the group stage, Marcelo Frigerio’s side will host Mirassol on the 26th at 6:30 p.m. at Gabriel Marques da Silva Stadium, in Santana de Parnaíba.

Before that, however, Alvinegro Praiano will switch focus and turn its attention to the decisive clash against Flamengo. In a direct battle for a place in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Brazilian Women’s Championship, the Santos side will host the Rio de Janeiro team this Sunday (16) at 11 a.m. at Distrital do Inamar Stadium, in Diadema, for the 16th round.

The match – Playing at home, São Paulo started the derby better and had more control of possession in midfield. The Sereias da Vila, meanwhile, looked to attack with speed through Evelin Bonifácio, Analuyza, and Wendy Candelo.

In the 17th minute, Analuyza pulled off a beautiful flip-flap on the left and sent in a low cross for Suzane Pires. The Santos captain controlled the ball inside the box, but was stopped by the defense before she could get a shot on target.

Then, in the 28th minute, Wendy Candelo broke forward down the right and crossed for Evelin. São Paulo’s defense failed to clear properly, and Analuyza arrived to hit it first-time, forcing the São Paulo goalkeeper into alert.

Peixe began to put more pressure on their rivals in the closing minutes and, in the 47th minute, Evelin Bonifácio and Suzane Pires both struck the woodwork, but the derby went into halftime level at 0-0.

The second half began in much the same way, with the Sereias da Vila threatening well through the pace of their wingers. In the 15th minute, Evelin Bonifácio burst down the left and struck firmly, forcing a good save from Carlinha. Moments later, Analuyza drove forward down the same side but was stopped by the opposing defense.

Despite Santos’ strong spell, São Paulo capitalized on an aerial ball and opened the scoring in the 28th minute, after Serrana met a cross from the right and headed home unmarked inside the box to beat Santos goalkeeper Taty Amaro.

Trailing, Peixe stepped up the pressure. And in the 46th minute, referee Edina Alves awarded a penalty after the ball struck the hand of a São Paulo defender. From the spot, however, Analuyza sent it wide, and the Sereias ended up losing the derby in Santana de Parnaíba.
