The Sereinhas da Vila have qualified for the quarterfinals of the 2026 Paulista Women’s U-20 Championship. On the afternoon of this Wednesday (12), Santos FC visited Portuguesa and won 2-0 at Salvador Russani Stadium, in Atibaia, in the 10th round. Santos’ goals were scored by Clarinha and Lara Mendes.
With the result, Peixe reached 18 points in the standings, remains among the top eight, and can no longer be overtaken by the ninth-placed team, thus confirming qualification for the quarterfinals of the state tournament. The knockout stage will begin on October 17. Before that, however, Yura Titow’s squad will close out their participation in the first phase of the Paulista Women’s U-20 next Wednesday (19), against Brothers FC, at 3 p.m., at CT Rei Pelé.

The match – Even playing away from home, the Sereinhas da Vila controlled the action from the start. Just 11 minutes in, Tamine took a corner from the left side and Clarinha appeared between the center backs, heading the ball firmly downward to open the scoring in Atibaia.
Even with the lead, Peixe did not slow down and kept creating chances. In the 18th minute of the second half, Camile Abreu received the ball on the right, drove forward, and unleashed a rocket from outside the box. The ball hit the post and fell to Lara Mares’ feet. Wearing the number 8 shirt, with the goal open, she only had to tap it into the back of the net to make it 2-0 at Salvador Russani Stadium.

With a two-goal advantage, the Sereinhas remained the better side. In the 34th minute, however, referee Adeli Mara Monteiro sent off Santos goalkeeper Giullia Matallo for dissent. Having already used all available substitution stoppages, coach Yura Titow had to put Mary Venâncio, an outfield player, in goal.
Even with one player less and an outfield player in goal, Santos FC managed to hold on to the result, beat Portuguesa 2-0, and secured qualification in the Paulista Women’s U-20.
