In the last half, Corinthians dominated the game and created a lot, although they also lost a lot of passes in the middle of the field. But Oliveros, the Boca goalkeeper, was inspired on the night and made great saves from shots from Gabi Portilho, Millene and Duda Sampaio.
At 31, Timão scored the goal… disallowed. Carol Nogueira made a good move and found Gabi Zanotti, who finished at the post. On the rebound, Millene sent towards the goal, but it was offside and the goal was not validated.
Next Sunday, both teams return to the field. Corinthians face Adiffem, from Venezuela, while Boca Juniors face Libertad in the second round of the Women’s Libertadores.
