Corinthians defender lauds rout of Boca Juniors, targets Liberta run | OneFootball

On the afternoon of this Saturday, the 11th, Corinthians took to the field again for the Women's Copa Libertadores. In a match held at the Nuevo Francisco Urbano Stadium, in Morón, Argentina, the Brabas faced Boca Juniors-ARG in the quarterfinals of the continental tournament and won convincingly by 4-0. The goals were scored by Gabi Zanotti (three) and Johnson.

After the match, defender Erika spoke to the press as she left the pitch, analyzing the team's performance: “(Victory) With a lot of authority and a lot of confidence. Corinthians came here for this. Maybe we didn't play such a good first game, but after that, we kept our goal of continuing to fight. We can't lose that characteristic, Corinthians can't lose that, and we kept going.”

The Corinthians player emphasized that the group knew the difficulties they would face in the match against the Argentinians. “We knew it would be a tough game against Boca, as it always is, since they are the home team. That's why we came with even more determination. It was a calm and secure game for us, with a lot of authority, and that's how we will continue on our path to the semifinals,” she declared.

Erika also looked ahead to the rest of the competition for Corinthians: “We like this (knockout stage). Brazil likes it. We don't need to go through difficulties, we know, we don't need to go to that extreme. But, little by little, we are making our way. And I believe that when you talk about Brazil, you talk about willpower, desire, grit, and that cannot be missing from Corinthians. So, today, we showed exactly that.”

The rout qualified Corinthians for the Libertadores semifinal, where the team will face the winner of the match between Dragonas Independente del Valle-EQU and Ferroviária. The game takes place on Saturday night.
