Brasileirão Feminino A1: Down to 10, Corinthians beat Flamengo in Rio

On Monday night (4), Corinthians regained the lead in the Brasileirão Feminino A1 by beating Flamengo 1-0 at Luso Brasileiro in Rio de Janeiro. Jhonson scored for the Brabas in the first half, and despite pressure from the Meninas da Gávea in the second half, Timão held on to the result even with one player less.

Corinthians had already been at the top of the standings, but after São Paulo’s 3-1 win over Vitória on Saturday (1), Tricolor spent two nights in first place. With the Brabas’ win on Monday, they returned to the top.

THE MATCH​

With more attacking presence, Corinthians started better and opened the scoring in the 11th minute through Jhonson. The Brabas controlled the match throughout the first half.

In the second half, the scenario changed, and Flamengo began creating more chances in search of an equalizer. Pressure from the Meninas da Gávea increased from the 20th minute onward, when Dayana Rodríguez received her second yellow card and was sent off. With an extra player, Rubro-Negro had good opportunities but failed to convert any of them.
