São Paulo oust Corinthians, reach Copa do Brasil Feminina semis, watch goals | OneFootball

The Sovereigns of São Paulo put on a show on the night of this Wednesday (24) and eliminated the powerful Corinthians after a 3-1 victory, playing as the home team at Gabriel Marques da Silva Stadium in Santana de Parnaíba, to qualify for the semifinals of the Women's Copa do Brasil.

The quarter-final classic was tense, but the Tricolor managed to face the adversities in the match well. In a complicated first half, they took the lead with a masterpiece by Camilinha from a free kick. They conceded the equalizer shortly after but decided the match in the second half.

Carol Gil put the São Paulo team back in the lead early in the second half, and Isa Guimarães sealed the deal at 3-1 in the final minutes by leading a counterattack and scoring a beautiful goal to secure the Tricolor's spot.

The other team currently qualified among the top four is Bahia. The matches between Palmeiras vs. Sport and Internacional vs. Ferroviária will determine the other two semifinalists of the Copa do Brasil. Then, the four clubs will learn their opponents through a draw in pursuit of the grand final.

ALMOST SOUR AT THE START

Just 4 minutes in, defender Kaká had to clear the ball off the Tricolor goal line after a good header by Vic Albuquerque. On the rebound, Carlinha made the save and calmed the team. Corinthians continued to perform better at the start, creating more chances to open the scoring.

Finally, at 28 minutes into the first half, came the best chance of the game for São Paulo. The Corinthians defense made a big mistake and handed the ball to Bia Menezes, right in front of the goal. The Tricolor full-back tried to pass between Lelê's legs, but the goalkeeper closed the angle very well, making a stupendous save for a corner.

On the corner kick, Lelê this time came out poorly, punching the air, and on the rebound, forward Millene took a half-hit shot, and the ball went over the goal, just missing the opponent's post. Shortly after, still before the break, the São Paulo team found the back of the net, and with great style.

MASTERPIECE BY NUMBER 10!

Number 10 Camilinha took a free kick with extreme mastery, into the top corner and unstoppable for the rival goalkeeper, opening the scoring for the Tricolor at 42’.

See Camilinha's masterpiece:

The team didn't have much time to celebrate and conceded the equalizer three minutes later. Jhonson raced down the right and delivered a beautiful pass to the far post. Vic Albuquerque arrived to finish well and equalized the Majestic, already at 47 minutes of the first half, taking the 1-1 to the break.

The Tricolor team showed resilience, and just 5 minutes in, Lelê made another mistake on a Tricolor corner kick, and Carol Gil took advantage to hit the net and put the home team back in the lead on the scoreboard. Watch below:

São Paulo managed to withstand the pressure from Corinthians, who sought the equalizer at any cost. Thiago Viana's team controlled the match well and relied on counterattacks at the end. And it worked.

To close the account, already at 44 minutes, Isa Guimarães was launched, dribbled past the defense and the goalkeeper, and closed the account (watch below), sealing it at 3-1 and confirming São Paulo's qualification for the 2025 Copa do Brasil semifinal.

As the competition's semifinals are scheduled only for early November, the Tricolor will first face another classic against Palmeiras on Sunday (28) at 5:30 PM (Brasília time), again in Santana do Parnaíba, but this time for the Paulistão. Then, in October, São Paulo will face the unprecedented Women's Libertadores challenge.
