Rival of Timão in the quarterfinals, Boca Juniors closed the first phase as leader of Group B, with seven points added. The Argentine club reached seven points after the 2-2 draw with Ferroviária, which has the same score and was in second place in the group by goal difference. The Brazilian club takes Cali in the next phase.
The game
Corinthians opened the scoring in the 24th minute of the first half, when Tamires crossed in the area and Angélica Vázquez sent it against her own goal. Despite the lack of efficiency in the last pass, the Brazilian team controlled the actions of the first stage and took the advantage to the interval.
The rout was actually built in the last stage. In the 27th minute, Gabi Portilho received the pass to measure from Gabi Zanotti, at the entrance of the area, and made the domain to complete the exit of the goalkeeper: 2 to 0.
The other two goals were scored by forward Bianca Gomes, in the 43rd minute, who took a classy free-kick, and by Gabi Zanotti, in the 46th minute, in a submission after a cross by Bianca Gomes.
