The Alagoas side started the match with Marina Fragoso, Marina Fernandes, Kimberlly, Ana Maria, Alice, Shayla, Deborah, Jheniffer, Melissa, Olga and Maíra.

The opening stages were difficult for the home side. UDA took advantage of the spaces they found and quickly went ahead, making it 2-0 before the first ten minutes had even passed.

After the scare, Corinthians managed to reorganize and began to control the attacking play. With more possession and a constant presence in the attacking half, the Brabinhas pressed in search of a comeback. In the 22nd minute, Letícia took her chance and cut the deficit on the scoreboard.

Even with Corinthians growing into the game and controlling territory for much of the first half, the score remained in favor of the visitors until the halftime whistle.

After the break, Corinthians maintained the intensity shown at the end of the first half and fully took control of the match. Their persistence was rewarded with the equalizer scored by Glória Lira.

Shortly afterward, Letícia stepped up decisively once again and found the net one more time, sealing Corinthians’ comeback and confirming the 3-2 win in front of the fans at Parque São Jorge.

With the victory, Timão moved clear at the top of Group A. Before the round, Corinthians and UDA were level on points, but the São Paulo side was in first place on tiebreakers. Now, they have opened up a lead at the top of the table.

In addition to the lead, the Brabinhas remain perfect in the tournament. It is now three wins from three matches, maintaining a 100% record in this first stage.

The next match for Igor Freire’s side will once again be against UDA. The meeting is scheduled for next Sunday, the 21st, at 3 p.m., for the fourth round of the Brazilian Women’s Under-17 Championship. The venue has yet to be defined by the competition organizers.
