Therefore, any tie on aggregate sends the decision for a spot to a penalty shootout. It is worth noting that the club that qualifies for the quarterfinals pockets R$ 4 million.

WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO?

Although they came in defending the 2-1 advantage earned at the Maracanã, five-time champions Flamengo were knocked out of the Copa do Brasil early in the tournament’s fifth stage. In the second leg, at Barradão, Vitória beat the Rio rubro-negro side 2-0 and advanced in the national competition. Moreover, despite controlling possession and creating more attacking chances in the match, Mengão wasted clear opportunities, allowed Erick and Luan Cândido to score, and bowed out of the tournament.
