The Match

São Paulo was superior to Flamengo in the first half but struggled to convert their game volume into goals. Although they had more ball possession and sought to score, the Tricolor team couldn't penetrate the red-black defense enough to be in a favorable position to finish their plays.

However, after much persistence, São Paulo was rewarded with a goal in the second half. At 17 minutes, Duda Serrana controlled the ball at the edge of the area after a rebound from Flamengo's defense and struck it perfectly, lobbing over the red-black goalkeeper and scoring a stunning goal at Morumbis.

In the final minutes, Flamengo was forced to go all out against São Paulo to seek an equalizer and take the decision to penalties. Tricolor, on the other hand, did not just defend and tried to occupy the attacking field to keep the opponents away from their goal. Thus, the home team only had to manage their advantage to confirm their qualification to the quarter-finals of the Women's Copa do Brasil.
