Corinthians Women train before Teal Rising Cup third-place play-off | OneFootball

Corinthians finalized the last adjustments this Saturday ahead of the match for third place in the Teal Rising Cup. The team faces América of Mexico this Sunday at 5 p.m. (Brasília time) at CPKC Stadium in the United States.

The session marked the end of the Brabas’ preparation on U.S. soil. The squad arrived in the country last week to take part in the friendly tournament, which also features hosts Kansas City Current and Palmeiras.

During the training sessions held over the weekend, head coach Emily Lima took the opportunity to make tactical adjustments and work on specific situations, such as set plays, with the decisive clash in mind.

The black-and-white team made its debut in the competition last Thursday (9), when it ended up losing 2-1 to Kansas City Current at the opponent’s home ground, a result that knocked it out of the final and placed it in the third-place match.

Corinthians has been dealing with the tournament with several absences, mainly due to national team call-ups. Goalkeeper Lelê, center-backs Thais Regina and Gi Fernandes, as well as midfielders Duda Sampaio and Ana Vitória are all unavailable, serving the Brazilian National Team in the Fifa Series. Also out are defensive midfielder Dayana Rodríguez, called up by Venezuela, and forwards Belén Aquino and Gisela Robledo, who are representing Uruguay and Colombia, respectively.

After the end of its participation in the international competition, Corinthians will turn its focus back to the Brazilian Championship. The team leads the table with 13 points and returns to the field on April 20, when it faces Juventude away from home at 9 p.m. in the seventh round of the tournament.
