Tamires demands reaction after Corinthians' Paulista loss to São Paulo | OneFootball

Corinthians debuted with a loss in the 2026 Women’s Paulista Championship. On Thursday night (7), the Brabas hosted São Paulo at Fazendinha in the opening round of the state competition and were beaten 2-1 after coming from behind.

Corinthians took the lead early in the first half through a goal by Colombian forward Gisela Robledo, but conceded the comeback and ended up losing at home. With the result, Timão begins the tournament in sixth place among the eight teams.

Starting in the derby, Tamires commented on the team’s performance after the final whistle and stressed that the Corinthians squad needs to show more intensity and commitment regardless of the lineup used.

“Look, I think squad rotation is very important, because Corinthians have a squad where anyone who comes in can represent the team. So, I don’t think the players lacked quality,” she told SporTV.

“I think what was missing was a little more desire, a little more fight, a little more making the most of the opportunity we had, you know? I don’t think we should have this at Corinthians of Team A, Team B or Team C. Here, everyone has to want to wear this shirt with energy and do their best,” she added. 

The full-back also lamented the goals conceded and assessed that Corinthians created enough chances to seek a better result in the Majestoso.

“Today, we ended up conceding two shots that went on target and went in. I think we tried to come back, we had several chances, but it just wasn’t our day. That’s football. Now, we have to use this first round to learn from our mistakes, because Corinthians have to be more. Regardless of who is playing, we need to show much more,” she said.

After Thursday’s derby, Corinthians and São Paulo will face each other again next Monday (11), once more at Fazendinha, this time for the 10th round of the Brazilian Women’s Championship. Timão lead the national competition with 22 points, while the Tricolor side are right behind in second place with 20 points.
