O Cruzeiro é o novo campeão da Libertadores Feminina: venceu o Corinthians nas cobranças por 5 a 4, neste sábado (31), no Estádio Rodrigo Paz Delgado, em Quito, depois de empatar em 4 a 4 um jogo em que chegou a perder por 3 a 0. Camila Rodrigues defendeu a última penalidade, cobrada por Gi Fernandes, e garantiu o primeiro título continental do clube logo na estreia.

A equipe de Jonas Urias terminou invicta, com cinco vitórias e um empate, e interrompeu a sequência de três taças consecutivas do Corinthians, que ia para a sétima.

O Corinthians saiu na frente aos quatro minutos: Gi Fernandes cruzou da direita e Gabi Zanotti cabeceou livre na área. Aos 42, Isadora Amaral errou na saída de bola, Vic Albuquerque recuperou e serviu Zanotti para o 2 a 0.

Na volta do intervalo, o terceiro saiu em quatro minutos, com Vic Albuquerque completando jogada de Letícia Monteiro. A resposta veio três minutos depois: Lelê falhou no cruzamento e Byanca Brasil pegou a sobra para descontar. Aos 12, Lelê derrubou Marília na área e Vitória Calhau converteu a penalidade — 3 a 2. Aos 22, Vic Albuquerque recebeu de Gi Fernandes e fez 4 a 2. Aos 30, escanteio de Byanca e cabeçada de Ketlin. Já nos acréscimos, Vanessinha cruzou da esquerda e Letícia Ferreira empatou em 4 a 4.

Nas penalidades, pelo lado cruzeirense Byanca e Letícia Ferreira acertaram as primeiras cobranças, e Vic Albuquerque e Duda Sampaio responderam pelo Corinthians. Lelê defendeu a de Pri Back, Jaqueline isolou, e as cinco séries terminaram 4 a 4. Nas alternadas, Lorena Bedoya e Gisela Robledo mandaram por cima; Milena Ferreira converteu a sétima do Cruzeiro e Gi Fernandes parou em Camila Rodrigues.

Byanca Brasil, que marcou um dos gols da decisão, terminou como artilheira do torneio, com seis gols. O título rende US$ 2 milhões, contra US$ 600 mil do vice, e garante vaga na Copa das Campeãs de 2027 — semifinal com o Barcelona marcada para o dia 27 de janeiro, em Miami, no Nu Stadium — além de presença na primeira Copa do Mundo de Clubes Feminina da Fifa, em 2028. Com o resultado, clubes brasileiros chegam a 15 títulos nas 18 edições desde 2009.
