How Flamengo can reach the Copa do Brasil last 16 | OneFootball

Flamengo can even draw with Vitória and still qualify in the Copa do Brasil

Thursday night (14) is a ‘decisive’ one for Flamengo. That is because the Most Beloved faces Vitória again in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. Check below the scenarios that would see the Rubro-Negro side from Rio de Janeiro advance to the tournament’s round of 16.

In short, in the first leg, Flamengo beat Vitória 2-1 at the Maracanã. As a result, the Rubro-Negro travels to Salvador with a narrow advantage. That means even a draw would be enough for the team coached by Leonardo Jardim to advance in the Copa do Brasil.

First of all, if they draw or win by any scoreline, Flamengo will advance to the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. However, if they lose by one goal, the qualified team will be decided in a penalty shootout.

Furthermore, if they lose by two goals or more, Flamengo will be eliminated and Vitória will move on in the 2026 Copa do Brasil. It is worth remembering that, in this edition, the Most Beloved is chasing its sixth title in the competition.
