Copa do Brasil today: São Paulo out to Série B side, Atlético-MG survive | OneFootball

Seven more teams advanced to the Copa do Brasil Round of 16

The underdog stole the show this Wednesday (13) in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. After all, a Série A team was eliminated by a Série B side. São Paulo lost to Juventude. Atlético-MG nearly followed the same script. Palmeiras also deserve a mention, as they managed to thrash Jacuipense.

Some teams came in with a comfortable lead and basically just saw the job through. After winning in Belém by a two-goal margin, Vasco simply managed the game against Paysandu, went 2–0 up, eased off, and saw the Pará side equalize. Even so, Renato Gaúcho’s team remains in the competition. Palmeiras, meanwhile, after winning 3–0 in the first leg, followed it up with a 4–1 victory over Série D side Jacuipense in the return match.

WHICH RESULTS WERE THE BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENTS?

After winning 1–0 at Morumbi, São Paulo let the tie slip away. At Alfredo Jaconi, including a goal with the final kick of the game, Juventude won 3–1 and sealed a place in the Round of 16. At Castelão, Atlético-MG were losing until stoppage time in the second half, but found a goal against Ceará and took the tie to penalties. In the shootout, the team from Minas came out on top.

WHAT WERE THE OTHER MATCHES?

To a certain extent, Santos were a surprise. Neymar’s team had drawn the first leg at Vila Belmiro, but then went to Couto Pereira and secured a 2–0 win over Coritiba. Mirassol, meanwhile, edged past Bragantino with some suffering, winning 2–1 after a draw in the first leg. Finally, Bahia, led by Everton Ribeiro and Rogério Ceni, were also eliminated, losing 2–1 in Belém after already suffering a 3–1 defeat to Remo in Salvador.
