Bahia's 22-year-old goalkeeper Yanne has been impressing with her crucial saves throughout the two matches against Palmeiras in the Brasileiro Feminino quarterfinals, and also by taking a penalty in the penalty shootout.
Yanne has a long-standing reputation as a penalty taker, having defended three penalties in the final of the Ladies Cup against Grêmio in 2024. She also defended penalties in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil feminina 2025 against Bragantino.
Defending penalties requires a lot of work in Yanne's routine, which includes regular exercises of strength and power. According to coach Felipe Freitas, the club has trained 2,632 penalties in 2026.
