Corinthians punished for errors, out to São Paulo in cup quarters

By Daniel Keppler / Central do Timão Editorial Team

On Wednesday night, 24th, Corinthians returned to the field for the Women's Brazilian Cup. In a match valid for the quarterfinals of the competition, which stages are single matches, the Brabas faced São Paulo at Gabriel Marques da Silva Stadium in Santana de Parnaíba, and in a game with mistakes in attack and defense, the team was defeated by 3 x 1 - the only black and white goal was scored by Vic Albuquerque.

With the result, Corinthians was eliminated from the competition, of which it was the reigning champion, since the last edition of the Brazilian Cup had been disputed in 2016, when the then Corinthians/Audax lifted the trophy. Now, the team focuses on the two tournaments it still competes in this season: the Paulista Championship and the Libertadores Cup, which will be held in Argentina in October.

Corinthians' Lineup and Absences

Coach Lucas Piccinato could not count on four athletes for the duel: Andressa Alves (muscle injury in the posterior region of the left thigh), Erika (muscle injury in the adductor of the right thigh), Jaqueline (trauma in the right foot) and Nicole (transition after muscle injury in the rectus femoris of the right thigh).

Thus, the Brabas took to the field with Lelê; Thais Ferreira, Thais Regina and Mariza; Gi Fernandes, Day Rodríguez, Gabi Zanotti, Duda Sampaio and Tamires; Vic Albuquerque and Jhonson. Among the reserves, available are Kemelli, Letícia Santis, Letícia Teles, Robledo, Eudimilla, Ivana Fuso, Ju Passari, Letícia Monteiro, Paulinha, Juliete, Duda Mineira and Ariel Godoi.

São Paulo's Lineup

Coach Jonas Urias sent a Cruzeiro team formed by Carlinha; Isa, Bruna Calderan, Kaká and Carol Gil; Bia Menezes, Karla Alves and Camilinha; Serrana, Aline and Millene.

Refereeing

The whistle was held by Daiane Muniz, assisted by Neuza Ines Back and Fabrini Bevilaqua Costa on the flags. The fourth referee was Adeli Mara Monteiro. At this stage of the Brazilian Cup, VAR is not yet in use.

First Half

Corinthians started the match with strong offensive pressure, creating the first dangerous chance in a corner kick taken by Duda Sampaio. Mariza appeared free at the second post and headed firmly, but the ball was saved by Aline on the line; on the rebound, Vic Albuquerque tried to lob goalkeeper Carlinha, who defended securely.

The black and white team kept the initiative, with Day Rodríguez launching Jhonson at speed, but the shot from outside the area went without danger to the goal. The Corinthians returned to the attack in another corner kick play: Zanotti crossed to Jhonson, but Carol Gil cut the finish. In sequence, the ball fell to Duda Sampaio, who shot and had the throw blocked again by Carol Gil; on the rebound, Zanotti hit the crossbar.

The rival responded with a clear chance from Bia Menezes, who was face to face with Lelê after a pass error from Gi Fernandes, but the Corinthians goalkeeper saved with her legs. However, at 43 minutes, São Paulo opened the scoring in a free kick after Thaís Regina knocked down Millene at the entrance of the area, which Camilinha took and hit Lelê's left angle.

Corinthians reacted immediately, seeking the tie still in the first half: at 47, Day Rodríguez started the ball out, Jhonson won in strength, advanced on the right and crossed low for Vic Albuquerque to complete at the second post, ensuring parity in the score.

Second Half

São Paulo came back better in the second half and scored the second goal just six minutes in, taking advantage of a corner kick where Lelê came out poorly from the goal and the ball fell to Carol Gil to finish from the small area. Corinthians tried to react quickly, with Duda Sampaio activating Jhonson inside the area, but the play was interrupted by the opposing defense.

The Alvinegro continued pressing: in a play on the right, Gi Fernandes crossed to Tamires, who deflected for Duda Sampaio to finish over the goal. Then, coach Lucas Piccinato made the first change, bringing in Gisela Robledo in place of Thaís Regina to recompose the defense with a line of two center-backs.

Corinthians kept the pressure: in a free kick taken by Duda Sampaio, Carlinha made a great save by deflecting with her right foot. In sequence, Zanotti found Jhonson with a precise pass, but the attempt to pass to Vic Albuquerque was intercepted. Piccinato made new changes, inserting Ivana Fuso and Letícia Monteiro in the attack.

In the final minutes, Letícia Monteiro tried from outside the area, forcing another difficult save from Carlinha. Despite the pressure, who scored again was São Paulo, in a counter-attack at 45 finished by Isa. Corinthians could not react and the game ended with the home team's victory by 3 x 1.

Next Commitment

Now, Corinthians will again turn its attention to the Paulista Championship. The team faces Taubaté, for the first phase of the competition, next Saturday, 27, at 3 pm, at Joaquim de Morais Filho Stadium, in the interior of São Paulo.
