Tamires needs five stitches after clash in Corinthians semi-final | OneFootball

Corinthians left Salvador with an advantage in the semifinals of the Brazilian Women’s Championship, but also with a concern involving Tamires. The left-back suffered a cut to the head during the Brabas’ 1-0 win over Bahia last Tuesday (15) at Arena Fonte Nova and needed five stitches after leaving the field.

The No. 37 was injured in first-half stoppage time. In the 46th minute, Tamires suffered a head clash while contesting the ball and received medical attention. The player managed to stay on the field until halftime, but did not return for the second half.

In the locker room, a cut was found in the central region of her head. To close the wound, the full-back needed five stitches. After the match, Tamires used social media to show how the affected area looked and joked about the new injury.

“Another little cut to add to the tally. Five little stitches this time”, posted No. 37.

A similar episode happened in 2025

Tamires had already needed stitches in her head recently. In December 2025, during a Majestoso, the defender was injured after being accidentally hit by Duda Sampaio and also suffered a cut in the area.

This time, despite needing five stitches and being substituted at halftime, the expectation is that the full-back will remain available for Corinthians in the second match against Bahia.

Brabas take the advantage to Itaquera

While Tamires had to leave the match, Corinthians managed to secure the win at Fonte Nova. Jhonson scored the goal in the 1-0 victory and put the Brabas ahead in the race for a place in the Brazilian Women’s Championship final.

The second and decisive clash is scheduled for next Monday (21) at 9:30 p.m. at Neo Química Arena. Having won in Salvador, Corinthians will advance to the final with any draw. If Bahia win by one goal, the spot will be decided in a penalty shootout.
