"Corinthians earned a stunning victory against Gotham FC in the first semi-final of the inaugural Fifa Women's Champions Cup, a goal from the 40-year-old Corinthians captain Gabi Zanotti in the 83rd minute the difference. Everyone was talking about maybe Gotham and Arsenal in the final but Corinthians are here and we played a very good game to beat the NWSL champions, their manager, Lucas Piccinato, said. We know what we can do. He is right."
"We wish them all the best. They came with a gameplan they executed, it worked for them and they won the game. On our side I think we also executed everything that we prepared. We dominated the game on every aspect but as we all know football is about goals, you need to score goals. If you don't then you normally get punished and unfortunately that was the case."
