📋 Fla line-up named to try to book a Copa do Brasil last-16 spot | OneFootball

Flamengo take the field this Thursday (14) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) when they visit Vitória at Barradão for the second leg of the fifth round of the 2026 Copa do Brasil.

After a 2-1 win at the Maracanã, the Rio rubro-negro side only need a draw to seal a place in the round of 16.

Leão da Barra, meanwhile, need to win by a two-goal margin to advance. 

If the Bahia side win by one goal, the spot will be decided on penalties.

Compared to the last match (a 2-2 draw with Fluminense in the Brasileirão), coach Jair Ventura opted to bring in Cacá, Matheuzinho and Erick in place of Edenilson, Caíque and Renato Kayzer, respectively, for Vitória.

As for Flamengo, who are coming off a 1-0 win over Grêmio, also in the national league, coach Leonardo Jardim chose to start Emerson Royal, Danilo, Alex Sandro, Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique instead of Varela, Léo Ortiz, Ayrton Lucas, Gonzalo Plata and Pedro, respectively.
