Corinthians eighth after opening round of Brasileiro Feminino despite 1-0 win | OneFootball

The opening round of the Brasileiro Feminino concluded on Monday night. Corinthians beat Atlético-MG 1-0 but sit eighth. According to Meu Timao, goal difference and bookings currently divide the leading nine sides.

Palmeiras top the table after a 4-0 victory over América-MG. Ferroviária and América-MG occupy the bottom two in the early standings.

Only the top eight progress to the quarter-finals, while the bottom two after the first phase are relegated to Série A2. The opening stage is a single round-robin, totalling 17 rounds.

Cumulative points across the entire competition, including the knockout phase, decide home advantage in later rounds. The benefit always goes to the team with the stronger overall record, a criterion that also shapes subsequent pairings.

For the 2027 Libertadores Feminina, only the champions and runners-up of the Brasileiro qualify. If either is already in by winning the 2026 edition, the berth passes to the third place in the overall table.

Corinthians host Fluminense on Friday, 20 February at 21:30 at Neo Química Arena.
