Match Overview
Bragantino Women produced a dominant attacking display to thrash Sao Jose Women 4–1 and cruise into the quarter‑finals of the Brazilian Women's Cup. The visitors showcased their firepower with four different scorers, overwhelming a Sao Jose side that fought valiantly but could not contain the relentless pressure.
First Half – Early Onslaught
Bragantino started at full throttle, taking the lead inside seven minutes when Camila Rocha headed home from a corner. The pressure continued, and in the 23rd minute Leticia Santos doubled the advantage with a well‑placed shot from the edge of the box. Sao Jose pulled one back just before the half‑hour mark through a stunning free‑kick by Rafaella Oliveira, giving the home fans a glimmer of hope.
Second Half – Bragantino Put the Game to Bed
Any hopes of a comeback were dashed early in the second half. In the 53rd minute, Fernanda Alves restored the two‑goal lead with a clinical finish after a defensive mix‑up. The final blow came in the 79th minute when substitute Isabela Martins pounced on a loose ball in the box to make it 4–1.
Key Takeaways
- Bragantino’s depth – Four different goalscorers showed the team’s variety of threats from set‑pieces, long range, and counter‑attacks.
- Sao Jose’s resilience – Despite the scoreline, the home side never stopped trying and created several chances, hitting the woodwork twice in the second half.
- Goalkeeping lapses – Sao Jose’s defence struggled to deal with high balls and quick combinations, a weakness Bragantino ruthlessly exploited.
Standout Player
Camila Rocha (Bragantino) – Not only scored the opener but also provided an assist and constantly troubled the Sao Jose backline with her pace and crossing.
Impact on the Cup
Bragantino Women continue their impressive cup run and look like strong contenders for the title. Sao Jose exit the competition but can take positives from their spirited fighting spirit, especially in the first half.
