Corinthians Women break mini hoodoo, set new defensive record in 2025 | OneFootball

This Sunday, the 24th, Corinthians begins its journey in the semifinals of the Women's Brazilian Championship. The match against São Paulo starts with the opponent's home advantage at the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu at 10:30 AM (Brasília time). In a match controlled for most of the time, the Brabas won the Majestic 2-0, with goals from Jaqueline and Day Rodríguez.

Besides allowing the team to gain an important advantage in the duel that will determine one of the finalist teams in the national tournament, it also enabled the Corinthians women to achieve two significant milestones this season: breaking a "mini taboo" and an unprecedented defensive streak this season.

The "mini taboo" refers specifically to recent games between Corinthians and São Paulo. As Central do Timão had reported this Saturday, the 23rd, Timão had not beaten these rivals in four matches, which included three draws and one loss. The last alvinegra victory in a Majestic had occurred on November 3, 2024, in the semifinals of the Paulista Championship, when the Brabas won 1-0 at Canindé.

Moreover, the 2-0 victory this Sunday marked the first time this season that the Brabas achieved a series of four consecutive games without conceding goals. This feat occurred after the team successively defeated Bahia 2-0 (Brasileiro), Ferroviária 2-0 (Paulista), and Realidade Jovem 3-0 (Paulista) before overcoming São Paulo.

The last time the team had gone so many consecutive games with a clean sheet was between October and November 2024. On that occasion, the streak was achieved during victories over Olimpia-PAR 2-0, Boca Juniors-ARG 1-0, and Santa Fé-COL 2-0, all in the Copa Libertadores, concluding with the triumph over São Paulo 1-0 in the Paulista Championship.

Aiming to extend this streak and qualify for the national final, the Brabas will return to the field exactly one week from now, at the same time, to face São Paulo in the second leg of the Women's Brazilian Championship semifinals. Corinthians will decide at home due to having a better campaign in the qualifying phase. The club has not yet decided where they will host the return match.
