Corinthians beat Cruzeiro to seal seventh Brasileirão Feminino title | OneFootball

For the seventh time – and the fifth in a row – in its history, Corinthians is the champion of the Brazilian Women's Championship! After a 2-2 draw in the first leg, Timão defeated Cruzeiro 1-0 this Sunday at Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo. The title-winning goal for the black-and-white team was scored by Thais Ferreira in the second half.
