Corinthians midfielder on hopes for Majestoso derby semi-final | OneFootball

Corinthians faces São Paulo this Sunday morning, August 24, at the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu, for the first leg of the Women's Brasileirão semifinals. The Majestoso classic starts at 10:30 am (Brasília time). The Brabas, it's worth remembering, are the biggest winners of the national tournament - 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

In her statement, midfielder Vitoria Yaya talked about the feeling of participating in a game of this magnitude and shared her expectations for the match: "Having the opportunity to play another Majestoso this year is special. We know the magnitude of this classic and everything that a Corinthians and São Paulo represents, so we are extremely focused on our preparation, to arrive for the duel with everything we can offer, with each one of us leaving everything we have on the field", she began.

The return match between the teams will take place exactly seven days from now, at the same time, with the location still to be defined by Corinthians. The return continued and detailed the feeling of competing in her sixth semifinal since she arrived at Parque São Jorge in 2024 after a stint at Santos.

"Being able to compete in another semifinal with this shirt is very meaningful to me. It has been a year of hard work and great achievements. Being able to help take Corinthians to high places, where the club deserves to be, is very special to me. Being with this squad has been special, I am very grateful for what I have experienced and we will continue working towards the final goal, which is the title", she commented.

With the Corinthians shirt, she has 53 matches (33 as a starter), with 40 wins, eight draws and five losses - 80.5% efficiency. In addition, she scored four goals and provided three assists. She also won three titles: Women's Supercup of Brazil, Brasileirão and Conmebol Libertadores, all of them last year.
