In a stunning display of high-octane football, Corinthians secured an 8-2 victory over Real Brasília in the opening match of the 2025 Campeonato Brasileiro Feminino on March 24, 2025. The match took place at the Estádio Bezerrão in Brasília, which experienced a significant delay due to heavy rains, causing the pitch to become waterlogged.
Corinthians wasted no time asserting their dominance, with Jaqueline scoring the first goal just 18 minutes into the match. This initial goal set the tone for what would become a commanding performance by the visiting team. The second goal followed at the 37-minute mark, as Andressa Alves capitalized on a defensive error from Real Brasília, extending the lead to 2-0.
Before halftime, Vic Albuquerque showcased her penalty prowess, scoring the third goal for Corinthians from the spot after being fouled in the box. The team went into the break with a comfortable 3-0 advantage.
Upon return, Corinthians intensified their pressure. Juliete scored the fourth goal merely ten minutes into the second half, and soon after, Letícia Monteiro found the net twice, bringing the score to a staggering 5-0 just moments later. The barrage seemed unrelenting as Corinthians continued to push for more as the match unfolded.
However, Real Brasília finally found a glimmer of hope when Katy scored at the 19-minute mark of the second half. Just a minute later, Manu Balbinot followed suit, narrowing the gap to 5-2. Despite these consecutive goals stirring excitement among the home fans, Real Brasília's hopes were short-lived as Corinthians retaliated within minutes.
Letícia Monteiro restored the five-goal cushion shortly after, scoring her second of the match at the 32-minute mark of the second half. The scoring frenzy continued as Jhonson netted the seventh goal for Corinthians in the dying moments of the match at 47 minutes. Robledo concluded the rout with an eighth goal just one minute later, sealing a record-setting victory.
With this emphatic win, Corinthians not only triumphed but also showcased their potential to defend their championship title, coming off a strong finish from the previous season where they were the reigning champions and second-place finishers in the Supercopa.
As both teams gear up for their next fixtures, Corinthians will face Juventude on March 27 at 16:00, while Real Brasília will aim to bounce back against Sport on the same day at 15:00. "It was a fantastic game for us, and we showed our offseason training paid off," remarked the Corinthians coach in a post-match interview, emphasizing the team's preparedness and capability.
Real Brasília's Katy, despite the loss, noted, "We will learn from this defeat and come back stronger," a sentiment echoed by many players who understand the challenges ahead in the competitive league. With high hopes and fierce determination, both teams look to build on the experiences of their opening match as the Brasileiro Feminino continues.
