The women's team of Palmeiras traveled to Belo Horizonte (MG) this Saturday on the plane of President Leila Pereira, provided at no cost. The Palestrinas will take the field this Sunday for the second leg of the Brazilian Women's Championship semifinal against Cruzeiro, which takes place at 10:30 am (Brasília time), at the Independência Arena.

The president made available the Placar plane, the same one used by the men's team, in order to provide greater comfort to the athletes. If they did not travel on Leila's aircraft, the delegation would go to Minas Gerais on a commercial flight, with tickets paid for by the CBF.

"It is a joy for me to provide comfort to our athletes," the president celebrated, recording the moment on her social networks.

The Palestrinas are trying to secure a spot in the grand final of the Women's Brasileirão. To do this, the team led by coach Camilla Orlando needs to overturn the 3-1 defeat suffered in the first leg at the Barueri Arena. In the quarterfinals, Verdão managed to come back after falling behind in the first match against Flamengo.

Ana Flávia, Dudinha and Natascha (ACL injury), Bianca Gomes (left hip surgery), Rhay Coutinho (knee injury), Victoria Liss and Laís Estevam (physical transition) are not available and therefore will be absent for the duel.

Palestrinas seek unprecedented title

The Palestrinas are going after an unprecedented Women's Brasileirão title. In the last edition of the tournament, the Alviverde stopped in the national tournament semifinal after being eliminated by Corinthians, who were crowned champions.

Verdão finished the first phase of the national competition in fourth place, with 30 points in 15 games, including nine wins, three draws, three losses. In the quarterfinals, they advanced after eliminating Flamengo. In the first match, they lost 3-2 in Rio de Janeiro, but won 3-0 in the return match and stamped their ticket.
