The fifth meeting between Atlético and Flamengo in the history of the Copa do Brasil was decided on penalties.
After Galo triumphed at Maracanã, the Rubro-Negro got their revenge at Arena MRV by winning with the same score: 1-0 on Wednesday night (6).
Atlético took the best in the penalties (4x3) and qualified for the quarterfinals of the 2025 edition of the tournament in front of 38,873 people.
Each goalkeeper caught a penalty, Wallace Yan isolated his shot, and Everson guaranteed the alvinegra party.
Which took R$ 4.7 million in prize money.
Bets and eliminated advantage
Filipe Luís surprised by betting on Wallace Yan and Cebolinha among the 11.
Flamengo had control of the actions in the first minutes in front of a very withdrawn Atlético.
And it was up to the Rubro-Negro to take the lead at 20 minutes after a precise pass from Plata to Cebolinha, who got rid of Natanael and scored.
Galo only brought danger in the first half when Hulk risked from outside the area and in a good investment that ended with Scarpa finishing.
Partial victory for the team that had more connections and inspiration on the field.
Attempts and... penalties
Galo returned to the final stage with a more offensive posture.
With Scarpa hitting the crossbar.
The insistent Hulk would be the protagonist with an unlikely finish. But then, he got it wrong on Rossi's rebound.
Filipe Luís and Cuca worked more times.
The game became more open. And increasingly tense.
Only without real chances of a goal.
Everson makes the difference again
Arrascaeta kicked well. Everson hit the corner, but didn't find the ball (0x1).
Hulk didn't let Rossi leave the photo by moving the Argentine (1x1).
Jorginho also didn't offer a chance for Everson (1x2).
Scarpa showed category. Rossi hit the corner, but had no chance (2x2).
Saúl converted his. Again a shot without a chance for the goalkeeper (2x3).
Junior Alonso stopped at Rossi (2x3).
Samuel Lino saw Everson make a difference (2x3).
Igor Gomes took Rossi out of the picture to tie (3x3).
Wallace Yan isolated his shot (3x3).
And Everson classified Galo (4x3). Once again defining a penalty shootout - as it was in the South American.
📅 And now?
Atlético awaits the draw for the quarterfinal matches. Which will be held next Tuesday (12).
Both teams will return to play on the weekend.
Saturday (8), the Rubro-Negro will host Mirassol.
Sunday (9), Galo will be a visitor against Vasco at São Januário.
Both games for the 19th round of the Brasileirão.
