Refereeing

The match was officiated by Charly Wendy Straub Deretti, with Leandra Aires Cossette and Veridiana Contiliani Bisco serving as assistants.

First Half

Corinthians opened the scoring just seven minutes in, when Johnson found herself one-on-one with goalkeeper Tapia and finished into the right corner; the opponent even got a touch on the ball, but it ended up in the back of the net. At the 14th minute, Juliette advanced alone on a counterattack and attempted a lob shot from just outside the box, but the ball went wide.

Corinthians scored the second goal at the 18th minute, with a beautiful free-kick goal from Duda Sampaio. She found the top left corner, the ball hit the post before settling in the back of the net, increasing the team's dominance in the match.

Second Half

In the second half, the scenario completely changed and Palmeiras began to dominate Corinthians, imposing superiority in physical duels and technical aspects. This dominance was reflected just nine minutes in, when Fê Palermo took advantage of a loose ball in the air, unmarked, and finished first-time with a powerful shot, leaving Lelê no chance to save.

Soon after, following a Corinthians error on an offensive set piece, goalkeeper Kate Tapia launched a fast ball from her own area, surprising the Corinthians defense and finding Raíssa Bahia, who outpaced the defense and beat Lelê with a high shot.

Taking advantage once again of a defensive lapse from Corinthians, Palmeiras attacked down the left wing and on the cross, Tainá Maranhão appeared alone and headed the ball the opposite way of Lelê, sealing Palmeiras' comeback and finalizing the score.

Next Fixture

Corinthians returns to the field on the 23rd, in a match for the fourth round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship, against América-MG, possibly at Fazendinha, if the lighting renovation is officially completed and approved by the authorities.
