Flamengo miss chance to end hoodoo with Copa do Brasil exit

Flamengo has never overturned a score after losing the first game at home

The elimination of the Rubro-Negro in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil last Wednesday (6) extended the taboo of the club never having overturned an opponent's advantage away from home. This is because Filipe Luís's team even defeated Atlético-MG 1-0, but it was insufficient to advance to the quarterfinals.

Therefore, the Most Beloved reached 14 knockout rounds where they lost at home and did not overturn the result as visitors. It should be noted that the statistic excludes the Campeonato Carioca. However, on three occasions, Fla won away but did not achieve the necessary score to advance.
