See how much Flamengo missed out on after Copa do Brasil exit | OneFootball

Atlético-MG defeated Flamengo on penalties

Flamengo even beat Atlético-MG 1-0 this Wednesday (06), but ended up being eliminated on penalties in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. As a result, with the defeat in the penalty shootout, the rubro-negro team missed out on about R$ 3.6 million in prize money.

This is because the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) pays almost R$ 4 million to Série A clubs in the Campeonato Brasileiro that advance to the quarterfinals. Therefore, since they were eliminated in the round of 16, Flamengo will not be entitled to the amounts offered.

HOW WAS FLAMENGO'S CAMPAIGN?

Flamengo eliminated Botafogo-PB in the third round of the Copa do Brasil after two victories over the Paraíba team. However, the team led by Filipe Luís ended up being eliminated early after losing on penalties to Atlético-MG in the round of 16.

SECOND ELIMINATION OF THE SEASON

With their exit from the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo now accumulates its second elimination of the season. That's because, before this, the rubro-negro team was defeated by Bayern Munich (GER) in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup, in the United States. Now, Mengo focuses on the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Libertadores.

WHAT NOW?

Now, Flamengo leaves the Copa do Brasil aside and refocuses on the Campeonato Brasileiro. That's because the rubro-negro team takes the field on Saturday (09), at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Mirassol, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 19th round of the Brasileirão.
