Vitória end 4-year hoodoo, dump Flamengo out of Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

Flamengo suffered an early exit from the Copa do Brasil for the second straight year

Flamengo were beaten 2-0 by Vitória this Thursday (14) in a Copa do Brasil match at Barradão Stadium. The result not only knocked Mengão out of the competition, but also allowed the Bahia side to end a four-year drought.

That is because Vitória reached the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil for the first time in four years. The last time had been in the 2021 season, when they were only eliminated from the competition by Grêmio in this same stage of the tournament.

In 2022, Vitória were beaten by Fortaleza in the third round. In 2023, they were knocked out in their first Copa do Brasil match by Nova Iguaçu. Then, in 2024, they were eliminated in the third round by Botafogo. Finally, last year, they fell to Náutico in the second round.

WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO?

On the other hand, Flamengo suffered an early exit from the Copa do Brasil for the second consecutive year. Last season, the Rubro-Negro side were eliminated by Atlético-MG in the round of 16 after a penalty shootout.

WHAT NOW, FLAMENGO?

Now, Flamengo do not have much time to dwell on their elimination from the Copa do Brasil. That is because the team coached by Leonardo Jardim return to the pitch on Sunday (17) to face Athletico-PR at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) away from home in the Brasileirão.

Therefore, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information on Flamengo’s match in Curitiba, with live reporting from Arena da Baixada by Simon Lédo. Finally, SporTV on cable TV and Premiere via pay-per-view will broadcast the match.
