The game
The first few minutes of the semifinal were evenly matched, with both teams pushing forward, but the match remained tight in midfield. In the 17th minute, Duda curled a beautiful lob from the edge of the box and crossed, but the ball remained with the Fluminense goalkeeper. After the timeout, the game resumed in a tight fashion, with numerous fouls from both teams. A great play by Monalisa on the right flank of the attack resulted in a cross that the opposing defense cleared. In the 44th minute, Barbara made a great save from a corner kick for Fluminense.
Early in the second half, Crivelari hit a shot with his right foot that sailed just wide of the post, nearly opening the scoring. In a great play between Gisseli and Crivelari, Mengão's number 6 reached the baseline, crossed back, and Duda shot, but the goalkeeper made a good save. Near the 20th minute, Darlene shot from outside the box, threatening Fluminense's goal. In the 40th minute, Jucinara took a free kick, slipped past everyone, and found the net. Shortly after opening the scoring, Laysa received a cross from Isadora, caught it first time, and scored a beautiful goal for the Meninas da Gávea.
