Corinthians lose to Cruzeiro as unbeaten run ends in Brasileirão Feminino | OneFootball

Corinthians saw their winning streak come to an end in the Brazilian Women’s Championship after a 3-2 defeat to Cruzeiro last Monday (18), at Arena do Jacaré, in Minas Gerais, in the 11th round of the national competition.

The loss ended a run of seven consecutive wins for the Brabas in the tournament. Before the clash against the Minas Gerais side, the team coached by Emily Lima had been on a roll after beating América-MG, Botafogo, Red Bull Bragantino, Juventude, Ferroviária, Grêmio, and São Paulo.

During that strong spell, Corinthians scored 20 goals and conceded only four. Their last defeat in the Brasileirão had come on March 13, when they lost 3-2 to Palmeiras at Arena Barueri.

The response came in the very next round, with a 4-0 thrashing of América-MG. From then on, the Brabas put together their longest winning streak of this edition of the championship until they were beaten by Cruzeiro.

Even amid their good run in the Brasileirão, Corinthians also had other commitments throughout the season. In April, they played in the Teal Rising Cup, a friendly tournament held in the United States. The team was eliminated by Kansas City Current in the semifinal after a 2-1 defeat, but ended the competition with an emphatic 8-0 win over Club América of Mexico in the third-place match.

In addition, the club also began its campaign in the Paulista Women’s Championship during that positive stretch in the national tournament. In their state debut, they were beaten 2-1 by São Paulo, but bounced back in the following round with a 6-0 win over Red Bull Bragantino.

Now, Corinthians will try to get back to winning ways next Monday (26), when they face Mixto at 9 p.m. in the Brasileirão Feminino. Before that, however, the Brabas take the field in the Paulistão to play the derby against Santos this Thursday (21), at 7:15 p.m. (Brasília time), at Fazendinha.
