Ex-Flamengo player clashes with Yuri Alberto in cup final | OneFootball

Matheuzinho and Yuri Alberto had a ‘heated exchange’ during Corinthians vs Vasco match

Corinthians and Vasco drew 0-0 this Wednesday (17th), at Neo Química Arena, in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil final. During the match, former Flamengo player Matheuzinho argued with Yuri Alberto in the midst of a Vasco attack.

At 36 minutes into the second half, Vasco won a corner. The camera, however, focused on Matheuzinho and Yuri Alberto, who were arguing inside the six-yard box before the Carioca team took the kick.

At the end of the match, Matheuzinho and Yuri Alberto resumed their argument on the field. It’s worth noting that Corinthians players had to step in to calm things down so the situation wouldn’t escalate further.

What’s the scenario for the 2nd leg of the Copa do Brasil final?

With the 0-0 scoreline, whoever wins the return leg of the Copa do Brasil final will be the new champion. The match is scheduled for Sunday (21st), starting at 6pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

Is Flamengo the current Copa do Brasil champion?

It’s worth remembering that Flamengo is the current winner of the Copa do Brasil. That’s because the Rubro-Negro beat Atlético-MG 4-1 on aggregate in the 2024 season final. In other words, until Sunday (21st), the Rubro-Negro remains the reigning champion.
