THE MATCH

Putting pressure on the opposition from the start, Ceará had the best chances of the match and took the lead in the 34th minute, after Bia set up Jady on the right and the No. 7 fired into the top corner past goalkeeper Quezia.

Despite having possession, the team from Amazonas created almost no chances in the first half and relied on medium- and long-range shots. In the 37th minute, Petra was denied by Thaís.

In the very next play, however, after a cross into the box, Thaís parried it away and, on the rebound, Carla leveled the match.

The black-and-whites continued to control the first half and, in the final play before the break, had the chance to restore Ceará’s lead, but Edna was unable to direct her header on target.

The Meninas do Vozão kept up the pressure in the second half. Well organized in attack, they had a chance to score the second goal just five minutes in. Bia received the ball in midfield, surged forward at speed, and passed to Geovana, who, one-on-one with the goalkeeper, missed the opportunity.

Instituto 3B responded moments later. Josefa received the ball in the box and struck firmly, but sent it wide to the right of Thaís.

Pressing high, Ceará created another good opportunity in the 18th minute. Geovana picked up the loose ball, combined with Kaylane, but shot to the left of Quezia.

The black-and-whites kept pushing for the win until the end and, deep into stoppage time, Jady broke forward down the right, beat her marker, and crossed into the box. Geovana arrived to finish and score the winning goal for the black-and-white side.
