Corinthians midfielder hails win, praises half-time tweaks in Copinha | OneFootball

On the afternoon of this Thursday (4th), Corinthians faced Criciúma at CERET, in a match valid for the first round of the Copinha Feminina, and won 4-2. The goals for the Corinthians team were scored by Rafa Rodrigues, Rayane, Danielly, and Carolliny. With this result, the Brabinhas took the lead in Group A, with three points.

Right after the match, in an interview with the Paulistão channel, midfielder Carol highlighted the importance of winning the tournament opener and celebrated her own goal: “I think it was an excellent debut for us. I’m very happy with the goal as well and with the three points. We managed to play well, I think it was an excellent match.”

The midfielder’s goal came seven minutes into the second half, after receiving a pass at the edge of the box, dribbling past the defense, and finishing precisely. Before that, Rayane had opened the scoring by converting a penalty. The strong start to the second half helped pave the way for the alvinegra victory at CERET.

At 15 years old, Carol also highlighted the halftime talk, when the score was still tied. The athlete explained coach Bia Vaz’s instructions and how the adjustments were crucial for building the result in the final stage.

“In the first half, we were already getting forward very well and creating good chances, but we just weren’t being assertive when it came to scoring. But in the second half, Bia talked to us and explained. Everything worked out and we managed to score in the second half.”

In this initial phase, the teams play each other once, with three matches for each club. Only the group leaders and the three best-placed teams overall advance to the quarterfinals.

The Brabinhas return to the field on Sunday (7th), at 8:00 p.m. (Brasília time), again at CERET, to face Flamengo in the second round of the Copinha group stage.
