Corinthians host América-MG, Emily Lima chasing first win in nearly a year | OneFootball

This Monday (23rd), at 9:00 PM (Brasília time), Corinthians returns to the field to face América-MG in the fourth round of the Brazilian Women's Championship. The match will be played at Neo Química Arena and could mark coach Emily Lima's first triumph in almost a year.

The coach's last victory was on April 4, 2025, when she was still in charge of the Peruvian National Team. On that occasion, the team defeated Cuba 3-2 in an international friendly held at Estadio Iván Elías Moreno in Lima, Peru. The Peruvian goals were scored by Gladys Dorador, twice, and Mía León.

After that result, Emily Lima went through the 2025 Copa América without winning any matches. The Peruvian team was defeated in all four games they played in the competition, against Chile, Ecuador, Uruguay, and Argentina. Later, the coach took over Levante, in Spain, where she also failed to secure any victories. In total, she led the Spanish team in 11 matches, with ten losses and one draw.

At Corinthians, Emily Lima made her debut as head coach last Friday (13th), when the black-and-white team was defeated by Palmeiras 3-2 at Arena Barueri, in the third round of the Women's Brasileirão.

Adding up her most recent commitments with the three teams, the coach heads into this Monday's match with a streak of 16 games without a win, accumulating 15 losses and one draw. To try to end this run, Corinthians is counting on their positive record in matches played at Neo Química Arena. In 30 games held at the stadium, the women's team has 27 wins and three draws. During this period, they scored 76 goals and conceded 18.

Currently, Corinthians occupies ninth place in the Brazilian Women's Championship, with four points earned in the first three rounds of the competition. The match against América-MG could be an opportunity for the team to recover in the standings.
