There were only seconds left before the final whistle at Alfredo Jaconi.

Flávio Rodrigues de Souza was already getting ready to blow for full time. 

Then the stubborn 0-0 turned into a qualification-clinching victory.

Thanks to Alan Minda’s goal in the 49th minute, Atlético beat Juventude 1-0 and is through to the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil.

Spot secured and R$4 million in prize money guaranteed after the 0-0 first leg. 

One chance for each side

In the first half, Atlético had more possession. 

The best chance came after a well-worked move that ended with Cuello rising high and hitting the post.

Juventude relied on what was expected from Safira and threatened with Raí Silva shooting from outside the box.

Plenty of drama in the second half

Atlético came out of the break more aggressive.

But the first real chance belonged to Juventude.

Everson was the one who denied Marcos Paulo with a brilliant save. 

Galo had their chance too.

The tension grew as the minutes passed.

And the penalty shootout was getting closer.

Then, in the 49th minute of the second half, a long ball was not cut out.

And Alan Minda took full advantage to seal the win. 

The next opponent will be decided by draw.
