The Sereinhas da Vila have qualified for the quarterfinals of the 2026 Paulista Women’s Under-20 Championship. On Wednesday afternoon (12), Santos FC visited Portuguesa and won 2-0 at Salvador Russani Stadium, in Atibaia, in the 10th round. Santos’s goals were scored by Clarinha and Lara Mendes.

With the result, Peixe reached 18 points in the standings, remains among the top eight, and can no longer be overtaken by the ninth-placed team, thus confirming qualification for the quarterfinals of the state tournament. The knockout stage will begin on October 17. Before that, however, Yura Titow’s squad will wrap up their participation in the first phase of the Paulista Women’s Under-20 next Wednesday (19), against Brothers FC, at 3 p.m., at CT Rei Pelé.

The match – Even playing away from home, the Sereinhas da Vila controlled the action from the start. Just 11 minutes in, Tamine took a corner from the left and Clarinha rose between the center-backs, powering a header down into the net to open the scoring in Atibaia.

Even with the lead, Peixe did not ease off and kept creating chances. In the 18th minute of the second half, Camile Abreu received the ball on the right, surged forward, and unleashed a rocket from outside the box. The ball hit the post and fell to Lara Mares. Wearing the No. 8 shirt, with the goal wide open, she only had to tap it into the back of the net to make it 2-0 at Salvador Russani Stadium.

With a two-goal lead, the Sereinhas remained on top. In the 34th minute, however, referee Adeli Mara Monteiro sent off Santos goalkeeper Giullia Matallo for dissent. As all substitution windows had already been used, coach Yura Titow had to put outfield player Mary Venâncio in goal.

Even with one player fewer and an outfield player in goal, Santos FC managed to hold on to the result, beat Portuguesa 2-0, and secured qualification in the Paulista Women’s Under-20.
