Lusa knocked out of Série D, see who’s through to the last 16

The first six teams qualified for the round of 16 of Série D of the Brazilian Championship are already known.

Leader of Group A6 in the qualifying phase, Portuguesa fell at Canindé.

After the 1-0 defeat away, Lusa beat Mixto by the same score.

But they were surpassed by the Mato Grosso team in the penalty shootout.

Without precision, Lusa even got a lifeline after Mixto missed their last two shots, ensuring alternating kicks.

But goalkeeper Mota - who had already stood out in the first leg - shone again, and the Mato Grosso team won 4-3 to qualify. 

They await Cianorte or Joinville in the round of 16 - first leg in the round of 16. 

The "consolation" for Lusa is having already secured a spot in the next Série D due to their campaign in this year's Paulistão. 

A team with a lot of tradition that has been in free fall in recent years, Sampaio Corrêa also fell by the wayside.

After the 1-1 draw in São Luís, Bolívia Querida was defeated by Manauara 1-0. Goal by David Peninha.

They will only compete in the 2026 Série D if Maranhão and Imperatriz achieve promotion to next year's Série C.

The Amazonian team will face ASA or Ferroviário - who are still dueling - in the round of 16.

The team from Santa Catarina, Barra, beat FC Cascavel again, this time 3-0, and advanced with a 4-0 aggregate. They will now face Ceilândia.

Gato Preto dispatched Água Santa by winning 1-0 at Abadião - the first leg was 1-1.

Maricá returned the 2-1 against Aparecidense playing away.

But the team led by Lucio Flavio, which had the best campaign in the qualifying phase, sought the 2-2 already in injury time.

They await the winner between São José-RS and Goiatuba - the return match is still this Saturday.

There was plenty of excitement in Limeira. Inter saw Marcílio Dias score just four minutes in. They were down to ten men at 41', but managed to equalize still in the first half.

The expectation was for penalties after the goalless draw in the first leg, but the home team found the 2-1 at 95' to qualify.

They will face Rio Branco-ES or Luverdense - who are facing each other - in the round of 16.

Scores from this Saturday: 

Aparecidense (GO) 2 x 2 Maricá - 4-3 on aggregate

Barra (SC) 3 x 0 FC Cascavel - 4-0 on aggregate

Ceilândia (DF) 1 x 0 Água Santa - 2-1 on aggregate

Inter de Limeira 2 x 1 Marcílio Dias (SC) - 3-2 on aggregate

Manauara 1 x 0 Sampaio Corrêa - 2-1 on aggregate

Portuguesa 1 x 0 Mixto (MT) - 1(3)x(4)1 on aggregate
