Ferroviária delivered a commanding performance on Wednesday, defeating São Paulo 3-0 at Fonte Luminosa Stadium in Araraquara during the final match of the first phase of the Paulista Women’s Championship. The home side’s dominant display secured all three points in what proved to be a decisive encounter.
The opening half saw São Paulo struggle to penetrate Ferroviária’s defensive setup, though both teams created opportunities as the period progressed. Ferroviária broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute when Thayslane found the back of the net. After the interval, São Paulo briefly threatened an equalizer when Luiza Calazans appeared to score, but the goal was disallowed for an offside infringement. Ferroviária extended their advantage shortly after when Pamela dos Santos doubled the lead in the 32nd minute, with Diana Benítez sealing the victory in the 49th minute.
Despite the setback, São Paulo remains in contention for the knockout stages. The club finished the opening phase in fourth place with 12 points, securing a position in the play-in round. The Tricolor squad will now turn their focus to an upcoming quarterfinal matchup against Grêmio, scheduled for Saturday at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium in Caxias do Sul, representing their next competitive fixture.
