Penalty heartbreak: Flamengo’s Copa do Brasil woes continue | OneFootball

Flamengo has participated in nine penalty shootouts since 2019

The Rubro-Negra fans said goodbye to the Copa do Brasil this Wednesday (06), after Flamengo was eliminated by Atlético-MG. Even with a 1-0 victory in regular time, Filipe Luís' team was unable to overcome the Minas Gerais club in the penalty shootout. The Most Beloved, in fact, has a poor performance in this aspect since 2019.

Since the 'magical' 2019 season, Flamengo has accumulated nine penalty shootout participations, with six defeats and three victories. Furthermore, the last victory of Rubro-Negro in penalties was in the final of the Copa do Brasil 2022, when Dorival Júnior's team defeated Corinthians at Maracanã.
