HOW IS THE MATCHUP?

Flamengo lost the first match against Atlético-MG, at Maracanã, by 1-0, with a goal from Cuello. Therefore, to advance to the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil, the team coached by Filipe Luís needs to win by two goals in Belo Horizonte. If the victory is by just one, the decision will go to penalties.
