With that, in the return match, next Wednesday (27) at Maracanã stadium, whoever wins, by any score, advances. In case of a tie for any score there will be a penalty shootout.
Flamengo and Athletico-PR had a very busy game from the start, with a slight advantage from Gávea’s team in the initial stage. And this superiority translated into a goal in the 14th minute, when Gabriel Barbosa kicked and Thiago Maia dominated the ball midway and hit the left to overcome Santos.
With the disadvantage on the scoreboard, coach Alberto Valetim positioned his team more advanced in the initial stage, marking the opponent’s ball out. And the tie did not take long to happen. At 2 minutes Pedro Henrique went up a lot after a corner kick to score.
With the score evened, Hurricane perked up once and for all and began to put pressure on Rubro-Negro. And, after so much trying, he managed to turn around in the 25th minute. Abner crossed in the area and Renato Kayzer overcame Léo Pereira at the top to head into the back of the goal defended by Diego Alves.
UP YEAH! ❤️
Next week there’s more Brazil Cup, Nation! Let’s go all out in search of the vacancy in the decision! #CRF #Let’s go Flamengo

However, Flamengo did not lose out, and managed to tie in the last move of the match, in a goal from a penalty kick (marked with the help of the video referee) from striker Pedro, who entered the second half in place of Gabriel Barbosa, who left the field after feeling an injury to his right ankle.
Now, Flamengo enters the field for the Campeonato Brasileiro, where they play the derby against Fluminense next Saturday (23). On the same day, Athletico-PR faces Fortaleza in Castelão.
