Corinthians midfielder celebrates Majestoso goal, tie still open | OneFootball

On the morning of this Sunday, August 24, Corinthians faced São Paulo in the first leg of the Brazilian Championship semifinals, played at the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu. Timão won 2-0 and the second goal was scored by midfielder Dayana Rodríguez, who celebrated the goal and pointed out that nothing has been won yet.

“Well, I'm happy, right? For having scored the goal. It's a very small advantage still. Two to zero is nothing, we've only taken one step, the final step is missing. Now it's a matter of waiting for the next 90 minutes to play a good game and qualify for the final.”, said the athlete in an interview with Rede Globo, the broadcaster of the match.

Dayana Rodríguez's goal came in the 31st minute of the second half. Jaqueline advanced freely on the right and crossed to Vic Albuquerque. The forward tried a volley, but hit the ball badly, which ended up falling to the Venezuelan. The midfielder did not waste the opportunity and scored a beautiful first-time goal.

With a 2-0 score in the first leg, the Brabas can even lose by a one-goal difference and still get the spot in the final to fight for the seventh Brazilian title – and the sixth consecutive one. The return match between Corinthians and São Paulo will be played next Sunday, at 10:30 am, at a location yet to be defined.
