The semifinals of the Copa do Brasil are set. This is because, on Thursday (11), Cruzeiro eliminated their rival Atlético-MG and Vasco came out on top in the classic, which went to penalties, against Botafogo. Therefore, the teams advance to face Fluminense and Corinthians.
Cruzeiro entered the field with the spot almost secured, having won the first leg 2-0. However, they made sure to seal their rival's fate by repeating the score in the second match. Striker Kaio Jorge lunged at the ball after a cross into the area and scored again when William shot and inadvertently found the striker to deflect it towards the goal.
In the first leg, the teams drew 1-1 and repeated the score in the return match. Vasco took the lead when Philippe Coutinho fired a long-range shot that hit the post, and Nuno Moreira headed in the rebound. Shortly after, Léo Jardim brought down Joaquín Correa in the area, and Alex Telles stepped up to convert the penalty. Thus, the classic went to penalties, and the team from São Januário came out on top.
