Corinthians' mixed side thrash Realidade Jovem in Paulista Feminino | OneFootball

On the afternoon of Thursday, the 21st, Corinthians returned to the field for the Campeonato Paulista. In a match for the seventh round, the Brabas went to São José do Rio Preto to face Realidade Jovem at Estádio José Mendes Athayde, winning 3-0. The goals were scored by Ivana Fuso, Ju Passari, and Thais Regina, securing the team's lead in the competition, now with 18 points—five more than second-placed Palmeiras.

Coach Lucas Piccinato could not count on Erika, who was suspended, and Ellen, who is recovering physically, and also rested several players due to the extensive schedule of the competition. Thus, he fielded an alternative lineup, consisting of Lelê; Paulinha, Thaís Regina, Letícia Teles, and Juliete; Ju Passari, Carol Nogueira, and Ivana Fuso; Eudimilla, Gisela Robledo, and Ariel Godoi. On the bench, there were only five options: Yasmin, Letícia Santos, Dafhiny, Letícia Rodrigues, and Maia.

The match began with the Brabas dominating, opening the score just two minutes in: Ivana Fuso took advantage of a rebound after a play by Gisela Robledo on the left and finished into the top left corner, leaving no chance for goalkeeper Mell. Corinthians kept up the attack and still in the first half extended the lead, first at the 26th minute with a beautiful long-range goal by Ju Passari, and then at the 42nd minute, with a header from Thaís Regina after a free kick by Eudimilla.

In the second half, the game opened up a bit more, with Timão easing their marking and allowing some attacking chances for Realidade Jovem—the best chance to reduce the deficit came from Alessandra, whose powerful shot was saved by Lelê.

The Brabas, however, also created chances, the main one with Ariel Godoi, who even scored a goal that was later disallowed for offside. The home team threatened again soon after with Loranny, who went one-on-one with Lelê after a defensive error by Corinthians—but the goalkeeper saved the chip shot.

Coach Lucas Piccinato made some changes to the team, bringing on Letícia Santos for Letícia Teles, Rayane Maia for Juliete, and Dafhiny and Letícia Rodrigues for Ariel Godoi and Ivana Fuso. In stoppage time, Eudimilla almost scored a fourth goal from a free kick, but goalkeeper Mell made a great save, keeping the score at 3-0 for Corinthians.

Now, Corinthians return to the capital, where they will face São Paulo in the first leg of the Women's Brasileirão semifinal. The Majestoso takes place on Sunday, the 24th, at 10:30 a.m., at Pacaembu.
