Corinthians won the 2025 edition of the Women's Copa Libertadores after defeating Deportivo Cali (Colombia) 5-3 on penalties (after a 0-0 draw in regulation time), on Saturday night at the Florencio Sola stadium in Banfield, Argentina.

Just 10 minutes in, Lucas Piccinato's team created a dangerous opportunity with a shot from inside the box by full-back Tamires. Three minutes later, it was striker Jaqueline Ribeiro, who had just come on for Gisela Robledo, who gave goalkeeper Agudelo a hard time.
However, the score remained tied until the final whistle, sending the final to a penalty shootout. In the penalty shootout, Corinthians players Gabi Zanotti, Vic Albuquerque, Thaís Ferreira, Mariza and Jhonson were perfect, while Ibargüen hit the crossbar, which led to a 5-4 victory for Corinthians, which won their 5th Copa Libertadores since 2017 ! They qualify for the FIFA Women's Champions Cup 2026, playing Gotham FC, CONCACAF winners, in the final phase.
