As Brabas estão na final da Libertadores Feminina. Em Quito, no estádio Rodrigo Paz Delgado (a Casa Blanca), o Corinthians virou sobre o Santa Fé por 2 a 1 nesta quarta-feira (28). Garavito abriu o placar; Letícia Monteiro e Gi Fernandes viraram.
Será a chance do sétimo título continental, o quarto seguido. O clube ganhou em 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, 2024 e 2025 e, na edição passada, bateu o Deportivo Cali, da Colômbia, nos pênalis. A decisão é sábado, contra Cruzeiro ou Olimpia (PAR).
O primeiro tempo terminou igual, apesar do perigo dos dois lados. Duda Sampaio acertou o travessão aos 10, num chute de longe. Aos 30, Garavito recebeu lançamento da zaga e bateu Lelê no mano a mano; houve revisão por impedimento, e o gol ficou. Letícia Monteiro empatou seis minutos depois, aproveitando sobra na entrada da área.
Depois do intervalo, o Santa Fé foi para cima. Lelê salvou finalização de Zamorano aos quatro. Mais objetiva, a equipe alvinegra virou aos 30: Gi Fernandes roubou a bola dentro da área após erro de Cristina Motta e mandou para a rede.
