Thayná and Alana shine as Corinthians beat Santo André in Paulista | OneFootball

On the night of this Friday, the 17th, Corinthians returned to the court for the realignment phase of the Paulista Women's Basketball Championship. At the Laís Elena Aranha da Silva Gymnasium in Santo André, the Furiosas faced the home team and, in a game of ups and downs, secured an important victory by 92 x 72.

With this result, the team maintained its isolated lead in Group A, now with five wins in five games – it's worth remembering that, by being in this group, the alvinegras are already qualified for the state quarterfinals. In the last match before the playoffs, the team faces SESI Araraquara on the 24th, at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Wlamir Marques Gymnasium.

For the match, coach Bruno Guidorizzi kept the starting five from the last game, lining up Thayná Silva, Tassia Pereira, Yasmin Gonçalves, Licinara Rodrigues, and Alana Gonçalo as starters. On the bench, Glenda, Nazinha, Jamile, Jaqueline, Julia Mansilha, and Bia Oliveira were available.

The first quarter was intense from the start, with Santo André quickly taking the lead to make it 12 x 5 in the opening minutes. Even after a timeout called by Guidorizzi, the home team extended the difference, with the alvinegras only reacting after the halfway point of the period, led by Thayná, Alana, and Bia Oliveira. Still, Santo André finished ahead at 28 x 23.

In the second quarter, Santo André maintained their initial dominance with another three-pointer from Casanova, while Corinthians continued to struggle. After the break, however, the Furiosas responded with intensity. Bia Oliveira and Thayná led the comeback, supported by Alana, who shone with long-range shots. With a solid team performance, Corinthians went into halftime leading 47 x 38.

The third quarter began with Corinthians extending their lead to 12 points, but Santo André responded, capitalizing on mistakes to close the gap. The visitors' performance dipped, and the pressure mounted as the score tightened. However, in the final minute, Thayná secured crucial points in the paint and allowed Timão to maintain a small lead at the end of the period: a partial victory of 65 x 50.

In the final quarter, Corinthians regained their rhythm with Thayná dominating the action and rebuilding their lead. Alana and Glenda stood out, and the team continued to manage the result and increase their lead, closing the game at 92 x 72.

Thayná was the big standout for Corinthians, with an impressive 29 points and 12 rebounds in the game. Alana Gonçalo also recorded a double-double with 15 points and ten assists. Glenda also contributed 15 points for the Furiosas.
