Palmeiras beat Grêmio to lift the Ladies Cup for the first time 🏆 | OneFootball

Palmeiras is the new champion of the Ladies Cup! After three participations in the tournament, the Verdão finally lifted the trophy, crowning a campaign of overcoming and great emotion.

The green-and-white team had finished in third place in 2021 and was eliminated in the first phase in 2022, but this time, destiny was different. In a final full of twists against Grêmio, Palmeiras won by 4 to 2, securing the unprecedented title of the competition.

The match!

Right from the start, Palmeiras showed they wanted to make history. Brena, in great form, opened the scoring with a stunning free-kick, one of those that make it into the gallery of the most beautiful goals of the tournament.

Grêmio, however, responded still in the first half: Giovaninha took advantage of a defensive lapse, dribbled past goalkeeper Tapia, and leveled the score.

In the second half, Verdão regained the lead with a curious play: a disastrous back pass from the Grêmio defender ended with goalkeeper Raíssa making a big mistake trying to clear the ball.

But Grêmio did not give up and equalized again with Camila Pini, who took a long-range free-kick from the side and surprised Tapia, leaving everything open.

When the match seemed to be heading for penalties, fate smiled on Verdão. In a completely improbable play, Raissa Bahia crossed into the area, no one touched it, and the ball ended up in the corner: 3 to 2 Palmeiras!

To seal the deal and ensure the green-and-white celebration, Amanda Gutierres took advantage of the rebound from the goalkeeper after her own shot and pushed it in, sealing the victory and the title: 4 to 2!
