Clearly superior from the opening minutes, Corinthians took control of the game and did not take long to turn that dominance into a lead on the scoreboard. After getting on the end of a cross into the box, Emelym finished well to put the Brabinhas ahead early in the match.

Before halftime, the team from Parque São Jorge doubled the lead. Maria Dafhiny took advantage of a chance created by the attack and scored Corinthians’ second goal, sending the team into the locker room with a comfortable advantage.

In the second half, the pace of the match slowed down, but the situation remained favorable for the black-and-whites. With more possession and control of the game, Corinthians kept creating the best chances until Maria Dafhiny stepped up decisively once again. The forward scored again to seal the 3-0 win and cap off the opener with an outstanding performance.

Take note, Fiel! The Brabinhas’ next match already has a date set. On Wednesday, in the second round of the Paulista Women’s Under-20 Championship, Corinthians host São Paulo at Fazendinha. Kickoff is at 3 p.m.
