Corinthians meet Kansas City Current again after Teal Cup final loss | OneFootball

Corinthians take the field on Thursday night (09), at 10 p.m. (Brasília time), to face Kansas City Current at CPKC Stadium in the United States, in a match valid for the semifinals of the 2026 Teal Rising Cup. Timão go into the match looking for a different result after the last draw against their opponents.

This is the second time the Brabas have faced the team from the Midwest of the United States. The first meeting was precisely in the 2025 Teal Rising Cup final, on July 15, but the Brabas were defeated 2-1. Corinthians’ goal was scored by Gabi Zanotti, while Kansas City Current scored through Michelle Cooper and Mary Long.

On that occasion, Corinthians were coached by Lucas Piccinato and took the field with the following lineup: Nicole Ramos; Thaís Ferreira, Erika and Leticia Teles; Gi Fernandes, Vic Albuquerque, Andressa Alves, Gabi Zanotti and Tamires; Eudimilla and Jaqueline.

Kansas City Current, meanwhile, were coached by Vlatko Andonovski and started the match with: Laurel Ivory; Izzy Rodríguez, Kayla Sharples, Regan Steigleder, Katie Scott, Lo’ eau LaBonta, Claire Hutton, Marta Lacho, Michelle Cooper, Haley Hopkins and Mary Long.

Because of the FIFA international window, the Brabas have a number of absences for the competition: Lelê, Thaís Ferreira, Gi Fernandes, Duda Sampaio and Ana Vitória – with the Brazilian National Team, coached by Arthur Elias – as well as Dayana Rodríguez and Gisela Robledo, called up to represent Venezuela and Colombia, respectively.

The Teal Rising Cup final, if the Brabas qualify, will be played next Sunday (12). The Brabas come into this on a run of three straight wins this season and are in good form. In the Brazilian Championship, the club from Parque São Jorge leads the national competition with 13 points – four wins, one draw and one loss – with 17 goals scored and seven conceded.
