Corinthians midfielder back after injury in Women's Libertadores semi | OneFootball

On the evening of last Monday (10th), Corinthians visited Palmeiras at Arena Barueri in a match valid for the 12th round of the first phase of the Women's Paulista Championship, and ended in a goalless draw. Even so, the Alvinegro remained at the top of the state championship table with 31 points (10 wins, one draw, and one loss – 29 goals scored and six conceded).

The Derby also marked the return of midfielder Andressa Alves after almost a month following a thigh muscle injury suffered in the match against Ferroviária on October 15th, during the semifinals of the Conmebol Women's Libertadores. On that day, the Brabas drew 1-1 in regular time and won 6-5 on penalties.

In yesterday's match, Andressa Alves was brought on by coach Lucas Piccinato at 18 minutes into the second half, replacing midfielder Gabi Zanotti. The number 9 almost scored the winning goal for the Brabas when Ariel Godoi received the ball from left-back Tamires on the left side and crossed it to Andressa, who shot it onto the crossbar of goalkeeper Tapia, in the small area.

It's worth noting that Corinthians won the Women's Libertadores for the sixth time (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025) by defeating Deportivo Cali-COL on penalties, 6-5, after a goalless draw in regular time. This season, the Brabas also defeated Cruzeiro in the Brasileirão final.

Andressa Alves, a Corinthians fan at heart, joined Corinthians at the beginning of the season after a stint abroad and has since scored seven goals and provided nine assists in 35 matches – 22 wins, 11 draws, and two losses. The Brabas will return to the field next Thursday (13th) at 6 pm (Brasília time) to face Ferroviária at Arena Fonte Luminosa, for the 13th and penultimate round of the state championship's first phase.
