How did the Copa do Brasil elimination happen?

Finally, Flamengo’s elimination from the Copa do Brasil caught the fans by surprise. That is because the Most Beloved arrived in Salvador, Bahia, with the advantage of only needing a draw to qualify for the round of 16 of the tournament.

However, in the very first minutes of the match, Vitória wiped out Flamengo’s advantage, and the team looked lost after conceding the opening goal. Despite applying pressure, the Rio rubro-negro side could not turn their chances into goals or take the tie to penalties.

In summary, Vitória scored a second goal and ended any chance of taking the qualification decision to penalties. As a result, Flamengo were eliminated from the Copa do Brasil in the fifth round and said goodbye to the dream of a sixth title.
