Corinthians full-back: missed penalty, one fanbase at Supercopa

By Fabio Luigi / Central do Timão Editorial Team

Throughout the afternoon of last Saturday (7), Corinthians faced Palmeiras at Arena Barueri in the final match of the Brazilian Women's Super Cup and ended up being defeated in a penalty shootout by 5 x 4 after a 1 x 1 draw in the 90 minutes. The goal for the Brabas was scored by forward Jaqueline at the beginning of the first half. The match was attended by just over two thousand people.

After the match, left-back Tamires spoke to the press in the mixed zone and was questioned about the fact that the decision had only one set of fans. It is worth remembering that, in theory, Super Cup finals are held with two sets of fans and on neutral ground. However, the game took place where Alviverde usually hosts their games when Allianz Parque is not available. In the state of São Paulo, since 2016, there has been a determination by the MP-SP that classics occur with only the home team's fans.

“Anyway, we came, we played, we did what we could have done, we tried, until the end, to come out with the victory, regardless of the adversity. And that's it, now we have to keep working, because the year is very long ahead and we need to put Corinthians back in the place it deserves,” she began.

Later, she commented on whether the short rest time between returning from the Champions Cup in England affected the team for the Derby. The rival made their season debut the previous afternoon, while Alvinegro had been in London since mid-January preparing for the Women's Club World Cup, where they also ended up as runners-up.

“Look, of course at the beginning of the season we know the difficulty, we know it's challenging, but we played the game, we were also good at times in the match, we had superiority, we had chances. So that's it, people, we gave our all, we tried until the end to get this result and unfortunately it didn't happen,” she added.

Then, she was asked about the lessons from the runner-up finish for the rest of the 2026 season. The Brabas will still compete this year in: the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, and the Paulista Championship. The national competition begins for the team on the next day 13 (Friday), against Atlético-MG, at Arena MRV, at 9 pm (Brasília time). Last year, Lucas Piccinato's team had a rocky start in the tournament but ended up recovering and qualifying in second place for the knockout stage. In the final, they beat Cruzeiro and secured the seventh championship.

“We have to work, we have to look at the points where we've been making mistakes, we've been catching up and working, keep working tirelessly, because Corinthians deserves to be in first place always. We have a very big history here, we have a process that supports us a lot and we can't let this happen sequentially, right? We have to change the mindset, we have to always want to win first place with Corinthians and keep working because we will succeed. We work daily, we work hard, we want results, we know, while we have been victorious here at Corinthians, we want to continue being victorious here at Corinthians, and for that, we need to work, it's simply working, working,” she continued.

Soon after, she celebrated the fact that the Brabas will host their Brazilian Women's Championship games at Neo Química Arena. Since mid-May last year, Fazendinha has been unable to host night games due to lighting structure problems. Since then, Alvinegro has hosted games in Itaquera, Canindé, Pacaembu, and José Liberatti in Osasco.

“This news makes us happy in this turbulent moment, because we've been without a defined home field for a while. I think this has been worrying us since last year. Fazendinha has always been our home, it has always been very nice to play there, but now having Neo Química as our home is different. May we be able to put our football back at the highest level and having Neo Química Arena as our main home will be very important for us.”

Next, she analyzed the penalty kick she ended up missing and emphasized that, despite this, she always gave her all for Corinthians on the field: “Unfortunately, I couldn't help Corinthians at that moment. Penalty is something I need to work on a lot, it's difficult. Everyone knows how much I give for this jersey, how much I always want to win with Corinthians. And today, unfortunately, I couldn't convert the penalty.”

Finally, she was asked about Corinthians' participation in the Champions Cup and gave an overview of the contact with other football methodologies. In the international tournament, the Brabas beat Gotham FC from the United States 1 x 0 in the semifinal. In the final, however, they ended up as runners-up after losing in overtime to Arsenal, 3 x 2, at Emirates Stadium.

“It was really cool, we managed to show our grit, show how much Brazilian football needs more and more investment, because we have been narrowing the gap between European football and also football in North America. The more investment we have, the more we will evolve. And we showed with a lot of grit, with a lot of will, with a lot of fight, how much we can with Brazilian football growing, and that's it, we want more and more investment, so that we can increasingly put Brazil at the top level of the world,” she concluded.
