Copa do Brasil last 16 concludes tonight with Vitória v Athletico and Corinthians v Internacional | OneFootball

The Copa do Brasil last 16 concludes on Thursday with two second legs, both kicking off at 20h, Brasília time. According to Coluna Do Fla, Vitória host Athletico-PR and Corinthians face Internacional for places in the quarter-finals.

Athletico won the first meeting 2-0, so they can even lose by one and still go through. Vitória must win by three or more to advance, a two-goal margin would take it to penalties.

The tie at Estádio Barradão is live on SporTV, Premiere and GE TV on YouTube.

Vitória are winless in four and have lost three in a row, the latest in the first leg to Athletico. Another setback would be their worst sequence of the year.

Athletico are eight unbeaten and have the best record among Série A clubs since the World Cup ended, with three wins and one draw in four outings. They are chasing a sixth consecutive quarter-final berth.

At Neo Química Arena, the first leg finished 2-0 to Internacional at Beira-Rio. The visitors hold the edge, a draw or a one-goal defeat would still see them through. The match is live on Amazon Prime Video.

Corinthians need to win by two to force penalties or by three to qualify outright. They conceded both first-leg goals inside six minutes.

Away goals were scrapped from 2018 after a December 2017 decision, so any aggregate draw goes straight to penalties. Each quarter-finalist receives R$ four million.
