Belén Aquino shines on debut, Ana Vitória returns for Corinthians | OneFootball

On the morning of this Wednesday (28), in London, during the semifinal of the FIFA Women's Champions Cup, not only did the Brabas secure their spot in the final, but it also marked the debut of two players in the black-and-white squad for 2026: Belén Aquino and Ana Vitória.

Both started the match as starters at the Gtech Community Stadium. Newly signed, Uruguayan forward Belén Aquino delivered a standout performance on the left side of the attack and was one of Corinthians' main outlets throughout the match. Active and incisive, the player caught attention for her personality on the field and quickly won over the fans, especially after a skillful move against midfielder Rose Lavelle, one of the stars of the American team.

Ana Vitória, who was signed at the start of this season, made her re-debut for Corinthians in a match with less individual prominence. The midfielder, returning to the club this season, played in the midfield, received a yellow card, and was substituted in the 21st minute of the second half, making way for forward Jhonson, in a tactical adjustment made by the coaching staff during the final stage.

In addition to the duo who took the field, other signings for the season were available but not used. Midfielder Paola García and forward Rhaizza remained on the bench. In the case of the Colombian, her late arrival in England on the afternoon of last Tuesday (27) was due to issues in the visa issuance process. A similar situation was faced by Gisela Robledo, also from Colombia, and Day Rodríguez, from Venezuela.

Having qualified for the final of the first-ever Women's Club World Cup, Corinthians will return to the pitch next Sunday, February 1st, at 3pm (Brasília time), when they face Arsenal, from England, in the final of the Champions Cup at Emirates Stadium in London.
