Corinthians take the field on Sunday night (2) at 8 p.m. (Brasília time) for one of their most important matches of the season in the Brazilian Women’s U-17 Championship. The Brabinhas will face UDA, from Alagoas, in the second leg of the national competition’s quarterfinals, with a spot in the semifinals at stake.

Initially scheduled for Fazendinha, the match will be played at Gabriel Marques Silva Stadium, in Santana de Parnaíba, due to maintenance work on the Corinthians stadium pitch. In the first leg, held at Rei Pelé Stadium in Maceió, Corinthians and UDA drew 0-0. As a result, whoever wins this Sunday’s clash will secure qualification for the next round. If the score is level again, the place will be decided on penalties.
