With this victory, Timão closed the initial stage with six points, three less than the leader Deportivo Cali (Colombia). Thus, the Parque São Jorge team will take on Boca Juniors (Argentina) in the next phase, and Ferroviária will face the Colombian team.
Corinthians’ victory began to be built in the 24th minute of the first half, when Tamires crossed and defender Angélica Vázquez ended up failing to score against. The second came only at 27 of the final stage. Gabi Portilho received it at the entrance of the area and hit placed on the exit of the opposing goalkeeper.
But the best is yet to come. At 43, Bianca Gomes took a masterful free kick to extend. Three minutes later, the number 20 shirt was decisive again, but now crossing for Gabi Zanotti to secure her header.
