How the Game Went

Early in the first half, at two minutes, Ivana Fuso passed to Vic Albuquerque, who shot unmarked but missed in a dangerous arrival for Corinthians. Shortly after, Ivana held the ball in the pivot and set up Vic Albuquerque to score for Timão, but the goal was disallowed for offside.

The response came at 10 minutes when Kaiuska pressed and gained possession to pass to Anny Marabá, who shot wide. Only at 35 minutes did Corinthians open the scoring. Ivana received a good pass and set up Letícia to shoot and put Timão ahead.

Galo nearly equalized seven minutes later. After a cross deflected off the crossbar, the ball fell to Giovanna Barraca, who shot first-time, but Érika managed to intercept on the line.

In the second half, at eight minutes, Pimenta picked up the loose ball in the area and passed to Anny Marabá, who entered the area and shot over the Corinthians goal. At 22 minutes, Timão threatened again with a shot from Belén Aquino, which hit the crossbar. Subsequently, Galo could not threaten the Corinthians' goal to attempt an equalizer.
