Despite being eliminated on penalties, Flamengo remained unbeaten at the Arena MRV by defeating Atlético-MG 1-0 on Wednesday (06). The team had their third win at the stadium in Belo Horizonte within the 90 minutes. However, they said goodbye to the Copa do Brasil in the round of 16.
Since the inauguration of the Arena MRV in 2023, Flamengo has faced Atlético-MG three times at the venue and has come out victorious in all matches in regular time. This is because Everton Cebolinha's goal on Wednesday took the match to penalties, where the Minas Gerais team qualified.
In the 2024 Brazilian Championship, Flamengo defeated Atlético-MG 4-2 in the return match. In the Copa do Brasil, the team lifted the trophy against the home team after an embarrassing goal from Ecuadorian Gonzalo Plata.
On Wednesday (06), however, Flamengo controlled the game and opened the scoring with Cebolinha, but failed to avoid penalties. In the shootout, Samuel Lino and Wallace Yan missed, leading to elimination. Therefore, the team turns its attention to the Brazilian Championship to face Mirassol at 6:30 pm, at the Maracanã, this Saturday (09), with full coverage from Coluna do Fla.
