Palmeiras left at the Barueri Arena
The lecturers entered the field determined to reverse the disadvantage of defeat to Flamengo in the first confrontation of the Wednesdays.

Shirt 29 received the ball on the left, got rid of the first marking and then dribbled the defender before kicking in the upper corner of the net. The striker had already scored twice in the quarterfinals game in Rio de Janeiro and with the goal at the Barueri Arena left everything the same on the aggregate score: 3 to 3 ..

Cruzeiro advances for the first time to the semifinals
As soon as the match began and Bragantino missed a good opportunities to open the scoring after two minutes, after a badly backward ball by goalkeeper Camila. From then on, the cable ones – nickname of the Cruzeiro female team – had good goal opportunities. At 11 minutes, with Gaby Soares, he kicked the entrance to the area, but goalkeeper Thalya spread out. Four minutes later, after a free kick of Byanca Brasil, the defender tries to dodge but the ball is left over to Vitória Calhau, which headed in the crossbar. Bragantino’s goalkeeper continued to have the goal threatened. At 17 minutes, it was byca Brasil’s turn to send by coverage of the entrance of the large area and Thayla avoided the goal sending to the corner. Then, Byca again set off a new kick after 28 minutes, forcing Thayla the great defense. Already Bragantino disregarded a good chance to open the scoring after 30 minutes: Ana Clara took advantage of the goal of goalkeeper Camila and kicked the entrance of the small area. However, he took badly on the ball, which went out.
Victory of the cable! 🦊

In the second stage, on four minutes, Carol Tavares almost marks Bragantino as she fired a bomb, but the ball exploded on the crossbar three minutes later, who opened the score was the cable: Letícia Ferreira used the goalkeeper Thayla rebound to hit a similar volley kick at the bottom of the net. From then on, Cruzeiro dictated the pace of play, forcing Thayla to enable good defenses. First saved Brangantino’s goal by catching a poisonous ball from Byca Brasil after 18 minutes and then avoided the goal from outside Gaby Rodrigues. But in one of the attempts from afar, Gurseli ended up expanding in 23 minutes: Thayla rebounded while trying to defend a far -faced kick by Isabela. The game continued busy, until the end, but even ended with Cruzeiro’s 2-0 win.
