São Paulo wins unprecedented Brasileirão Feminino A1 title after draw with Corinthians at Morumbis

October 3, 2026 is already marked in the history of women's football in Brazil. After absolute sovereignty from Corinthians, winner of the previous six editions, seven of the last eight and finalist for the tenth consecutive time in the Brazilian A1 Championship, São Paulo drew with their rival this Saturday 1-1, at Morumbis and, with the victory in the first game, confirmed the competition's unprecedented title.

Furthermore, playing at home, the Tricolor fans broke attendance records for matches between clubs in South America. There were exactly 49,405 people present at the stadium, making and witnessing history. TV Brasil broadcast the match live across the country.

The final confrontation of the championship started with a script similar to that of the first duel of the final. On that occasion, Corinthians, who were the home team at the Neo Química Arena, opened the scoring before the 10th minute and conceded a draw around the 20th minute (Tricolor would turn around and win 2-1).

This Saturday, it was São Paulo who scored first in the 10th minute. Bia Menezes received the ball on the left and, when everyone expected her to cross into the area, the wing looked for the goal and, even with an unfavorable angle, surprised goalkeeper Nicole to put the Soberanas ahead.

Tricolor now had a two-goal lead and Corinthians could only go after the turnaround. At 18, Brabas received a gift. After a long throw that caused no problems, everything seemed under control for São Paulo. However, when trying to move away, goalkeeper Carlinha threw the ball directly at Juliete's foot. The deflection was enough for the ball to go in and equalize the score.

The scare left São Paulo alert again. The Soberanas scored again in the 23rd minute, with Crivelari heading in, but the offside position was flagged.

After half-time, Corinthians advanced their lines and began to put more pressure on São Paulo from their own field. The Sovereigns made some mistakes, which gave Brabas chances. Jaqueline took a risk from outside the area to defend Carlinha and, a few minutes later, Jhonson received it in the middle of the Tricolor defense already inside the area but ended up shooting out.

At 20 minutes, the capital move came. After a free kick on the right, Robinha pulled Érika inside the area and the VAR warned. Penalty for Timão. A goal would equal the aggregate score of the decision and lead to more penalties.

However, that was not what happened. Gabi Zanotti took a weak shot in the left corner and Carlinha saved it without giving a rebound.

From then on, both teams went in search of one last strike and the game became more open, but without enough organization for more truly dangerous chances to be created.

The first ecstasy came in the final stretch, when the attendance was announced, establishing the new record, surpassing, in fact, a match from the 2024 final, in which Corinthians took more than 44 thousand people to the Neo Química Arena to witness the title against São Paulo.

In a tense finale, with more than nine minutes of added time, the tricolor fans were finally able to cheer with the unprecedented title in Morumbis full of people.
