Zanotti and Vic Albuquerque honoured before Corinthians v Bragantino | OneFootball

Corinthians return to action on Friday night (03), at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), at Fazendinha, to face Red Bull Bragantino in a match valid for the sixth round of the Brazilian Women’s Championship. Before kickoff, according to Meu Timão, two historic club players will be honored on the pitch: Gabi Zanotti and Vic Albuquerque.

The duo recently reached the mark of 258 matches wearing the black-and-white shirt, matching the number of games of former player Grazi, a key figure in the club’s history in the sport. Zanotti reached the milestone in the 3-1 win over Botafogo, while Vic could reach the same number if she takes the field against the team from Bragança Paulista.

In addition to their longevity, both have also posted impressive numbers in the Corinthians shirt. Zanotti and Vic are the players with the most titles won by the club, with 18 each. In attack, they lead the list of top scorers in the history of Timão women’s football, with Vic Albuquerque ahead with 123 goals, followed by Zanotti with 89. Both also rank among the top scorers at Neo Química Arena.

The tribute will take place moments before the start of the match, with the presentation of commemorative plaques and personalized shirts. The clash also marks the Brabas’ return to Fazendinha for night matches, after adjustments were made to the stadium’s lighting system.

Although they share the spotlight on the field, their journeys at the club began at different times. Zanotti made her debut in April 2018, while Vic Albuquerque played her first match for Corinthians in March 2019. Since then, the two have established themselves as key pieces in one of the team’s most successful periods.

On the field, Corinthians are looking to maintain their positive run and climb the table in the Brazilian Women’s Championship. The team currently sits in seventh place, with ten points, and could move closer to the top with a favorable result this round.
