See the scenarios that send Flamengo into the Copa do Brasil last 16 | OneFootball

Flamengo can even draw with Vitória and still qualify in the Copa do Brasil

Thursday night (14) is a ‘decisive’ one for Flamengo. That is because the Mengão faces Vitória again in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. Check below the scenarios that would send the Rio rubro-negro side through to the tournament’s round of 16.

In short, in the first leg, Flamengo beat Vitória 2-1 at the Maracanã. As a result, the rubro-negro head to Salvador with a narrow advantage. That means even a draw would see the team coached by Leonardo Jardim advance in the Copa do Brasil.

First of all, if they draw or win by any scoreline, Flamengo will advance to the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. However, if they lose by one goal, the place in the next round will be decided on penalties.

On the other hand, if they lose by two goals or more, Flamengo will be eliminated and Vitória will move on in the 2026 Copa do Brasil. It is worth noting that, in this edition, Mengão is chasing its sixth title in the competition.
