Palmeiras overpowered Corinthians in the first leg of the women’s Campeonato Paulista decision, held this Sunday (7), at Arena Barueri, in Barueri. With extensive control over the opponent, they triumphed 5-1 and left the competition title practically assured.
The second match is scheduled for next Sunday (14) at 10am, with the location to be confirmed. The black and white team is the home team, but will not have the Neo Química Arena available, which will host the men’s team’s duel with Cruzeiro, in the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil.
Given the score, in any case, the board would hardly choose to play at the Itaquera stadium. A great women’s team in South America in recent years, Corinthians experienced an atypical journey and were massacred.
Fê Palermo, Raíssa Bahia, Brena (2) and Amanda Gutierres scored the goals for Palmeiras, who missed opportunities and could have done more. Even the black and white goal was scored by a black and white athlete, Pati Maldaner, who missed a header attempt and found the net.
