A two-time Libertadores champion against a small team founded 20 years ago.

This was the backdrop for Maracanã vs. Internacional, this Thursday (22), for the second leg of the third phase of the Copa do Brasil.

But, as football is this wonderful sport, logic - almost always - is far from it.

This is because goalkeeper Rair, only 26 years old, saved 2 penalties from Colorado and even "unsettled" the kicker on the third opportunity!

📹 Let's see the highlights!

Still in the first half, Alan Patrick - one of the best players in Brazilian football this season, wearing the number 10 jersey and captain's armband for Inter - attempted a chip shot, but Rair didn't fall for it!

After the break, another penalty for Colorado. This time, it was Wesley who took it, but the Maracanã goalkeeper made another save!

Less than ten minutes later, another penalty for the team from Rio Grande do Sul.

Alan Patrick took responsibility again, but goalkeeper Rair did some "trash-talking" before the kick, saying something to the number 10.

As a result, Alan Patrick shot hard, high, well away from the rival goalkeeper, but ended up hitting the crossbar!

A complete madness!

Even more so because, in the first game, at Beira-Rio, when Inter won 1-0, Rair also saved a penalty taken by Alan Patrick.

Social media, of course, buzzed with the highly unusual event!

But the game wasn't just about the missed penalties!

With the "ball rolling", Inter beat Maracanã 3-0 and, with a 4-0 aggregate, qualified for the round of 16 of the 2025 Copa do Brasil.

The next opponent will be determined through a CBF draw.

Colorado returns to the field on Sunday (25), when they visit Sport, at Ilha do Retiro, for the tenth round of the Brasileirão.
