Still in last season, the clubs faced each other again in the quarterfinals of the Paulista Women’s Under-20 Championship. Both matches ended in 1-1 draws, and Corinthians advanced to the semifinals after winning the penalty shootout.

In the current edition of the state competition, the first phase format brings together the 12 teams in a single round-robin, with the top eight advancing to the knockout stage. The victory over Palmeiras put the Brabinhas back among the top four, strengthening their campaign in the fight for a place in the knockout rounds.
