São Paulo, meanwhile, started the match with Elu; Mari Martins, Ana Bia, Tai and Tays; Carol Zach, Micheli and Myllena; Vi Barretto, Helena and Vivia.

The opening half was marked by great balance and a hard-fought battle in midfield. Corinthians looked to speed up their attacking transitions, mainly using Dulce Maria’s pace, while their rivals tried to build their plays with more passing and possession.

Despite the lack of clear chances, the Brabinhas managed to take the lead before halftime. Helô Camargo struck a beautiful finish to put Timão ahead on the scoreboard.

After the teams returned from the locker room, the match became more intense and faster-paced. Corinthians found it difficult to control the spaces and produced little offensively, while São Paulo began to pose more danger by using mid-range shots and runs in behind the black-and-white defense.

The Tricolor side’s persistence was eventually rewarded in a quick move that resulted in the equalizer and sealed the 1-1 scoreline at Fazendinha.

With the result, Corinthians moved to four points and temporarily took the lead in the championship. Santos and Ferroviária, who also played in the round, had not yet finished their matches at the time of the update. Now, the Brabinhas turn their attention to the third round of the state tournament. Next Wednesday, July 1, Corinthians visit Ferroviária in search of another win in the competition.
