Night of progress and good milestones for Galo | OneFootball

Atlético’s qualification for the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals on Tuesday night (4) was marked by a series of achievements that reinforce the club’s black-and-white tradition in the competition. With a 1-0 win over Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul, Galo secured a place among the tournament’s top eight, guaranteed a multimillion-dollar prize, and extended historic milestones.

The spot was confirmed by Alan Minda’s goal in the final play of the match. In addition to keeping alive the dream of a third Copa do Brasil title, the result secured the Club a R$ 4 million prize for reaching the quarterfinals.

The victory also put Atlético into the competition’s quarterfinals for the 20th time in its history. Since the first edition played by the Club, in 1989, Galo has built a leading track record in the tournament, reaching this stage in 1989, 1990, 1994, 1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2024, 2025 and now 2026.

Among those campaigns, Atlético won the titles in 2014 and 2021, in addition to finishing as runner-up in 2016 and 2024. This year’s qualification also represents the Club’s third consecutive appearance in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, a run that began in 2024.

The special night in Caxias do Sul brought another reason to celebrate. With the goal scored against Juventude, Atlético reached 131 away goals in the Copa do Brasil this century, remaining the club that has scored the most goals away from home in the competition during this period. Galo tops the ranking ahead of Fluminense (129 goals), Vasco (125), Flamengo (117), Cruzeiro (115), and Corinthians (108).

With qualification secured, Atlético now awaits the CBF draw to find out its opponent in the quarterfinals and continue its pursuit of another victorious chapter in a competition in which it has already built a history of great achievements.
