🤡 Copa do Brasil last 16 start with THREE goalless draws 📹 | OneFootball

Was scoring a goal really not worth it?

The round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil kicked off this Saturday (1st).

There were three matchups, 270 minutes not counting stoppage time in each game and...

... NOT A SINGLE GOAL! 

The last attempt happened at Vila Belmiro during Santos versus Remo.

Which ended with plenty of boos from Peixe’s fans. 

Check out a summary of each clash below. 

Could this be a good idea? 🤣

Defender was the best player in Vasco 🆚 Flu

The first match kicked off at 5:30 pm.

Fluminense were slightly superior, as they had three good chances to score.

Vasco, meanwhile, had only one real opportunity.

It was up to Igor Rabello, the Tricolor defender, to be named man of the match.

He formed an alternative pairing with Ignácio, since Thiago Silva, Freytes, Jemmes and Millán are injured.

The second leg will be next Wednesday (5), again at the Maracanã - but with Fluminense as the home side.

Alisson Safira almost put Juventude ahead in the first half of the 7 pm matchup.

But his shot crashed off the crossbar while Atlético had more possession and attacking pressure.

Then came the second half and a persistent Galo. Including Igor Gomes hitting the post from a free kick.

They will meet again on Tuesday (4) at Alfredo Jaconi.

There was even a goal, but... 😤

Santos tried to take the initiative right from the first half.

Tried, tried and... got nowhere.

And they almost saw Jajá open the scoring for Leão.

Another key moment in the first half was the elbow from Zé Ricardo on João Ananias. It resulted in a yellow card and no VAR review. 

Gabigol even ran off to celebrate his 100th goal in a Santos shirt in the second half.

But Neymar’s corner curled out the wrong side. 

Neymar battled hard, but could not make the difference.

And Peixe also lost Lucas Veríssimo to a possible injury.

The second leg will be next Tuesday (4). And with the Mangueirão as the stage.
