São Paulo beat Vitória, go top and hope Corinthians slip up: goals | OneFootball

São Paulo defeated Vitória 3-1 on Saturday night (1), playing away from home at Barradão, in Salvador, Bahia, in a match valid for the 14th round of the Brazilian Women’s Championship.

With the result, Thiago Viana’s team moved to the top of the table with 32 points, one more than second-place Corinthians, who still visit Flamengo in this round.

Now, Tricolor need their rival to slip up to stay at the top of the standings. The Corinthians women’s team face Flamengo this Monday (3) at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

In control from the start

From the opening whistle, São Paulo took an attacking approach and looked to control possession. The scoring was opened just eight minutes in, when Bia Menezes delivered a perfectly placed corner and Bruna Calderan finished it into the net.

Still in the first half, Tricolor kept up the pressure and scored two more times. The second goal came in the 29th minute, when Vitória’s defense deflected the ball into their own net. The third came in the 36th minute, after a good move by Aline Milene, who dribbled past the defender and crossed for Isa to head home.

In the second half, the home team responded in the first minute, cutting the deficit. São Paulo kept possession, but their opponents continued pushing for a comeback.

In the closing moments, in the 44th minute, Tricolor were reduced to 10 players after Bia Menezes received her second yellow card. Even so, the two-goal advantage remained intact, and São Paulo left Salvador with all three points to take over the lead.
