Thursday night (14) is a decisive one for Flamengo. That is because the Most Beloved faces Vitória again in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. After winning the first leg 2-1 at the Maracanã, does the competition format call for extra time or penalties in the event of a tie on aggregate?
If Flamengo loses by one goal, the spot will be decided on penalties. In short, in the first leg, the Most Beloved beat Vitória 2-1 at the Maracanã. As a result, the Rio-based Rubro-Negro visits the Bahia side needing only a draw to advance.
It is important to note that no round of the Copa do Brasil has extra time. Therefore, if there is a tie on aggregate in the national knockout matches, the place or the title will be decided by penalties.
Flamengo can earn R$ 3 million by qualifying for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. Therefore, Thursday’s match (14) is also decisive for the Most Beloved financially.
Flamengo’s match against Vitória is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Thursday (14), at Barradão, in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. The match will be broadcast on Premiere, via pay-per-view.
