Dayana Rodríguez: Corinthians’ 2-0 lead over São Paulo means nothing | OneFootball

Corinthians won against São Paulo 2-0, on Sunday, at Arena Mercado Livre Pacaembu, and took the lead for a spot in the final of the Brazilian Women's Championship. Author of the second goal, Dayana Rodríguez downplayed the advantage and projected the return game.

"Happy to have scored the goal. It's a very small advantage still. 2-0 is nothing. We've only taken one step, the final step is missing. We'll wait for the next 90 minutes to play a good game and qualify for the final", said Dayana Rodríguez in an interview with TV Globo.

Still in the first half, Jacqueline opened the scoring for Corinthians, just three minutes in. In the final stage, after a cross from the right side, Vic Albuquerque finished incorrectly and the ball was left for Dayana Rodríguez. The Venezuelan accurately hit a first-time shot and scored the second goal for Timão, at 30 minutes.

This was Rodríguez's first goal in the competition.

With the result, As Brabas can lose by up to one goal difference in the return game and still advance to the Brazilian Championship decision for the sixth consecutive year. On the other hand, São Paulo will need to win by three goals difference to secure a spot in the final. A win with a two-goal advantage takes the decision to penalties.

The second game of the semifinal takes place next Sunday, at 10:30 am (Brasília time). The venue for the duel has not been defined yet.
