‘Take that, Cavada’: Flamengo fans taunt Atlético-MG in Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

Flamengo fans referenced Plata's goal from last year

The Flamengo fans did not forgive Atlético-MG and turned the Maracanã into a stage of provocations in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil this Thursday (31). This is because, even before the ball rolled, the rubro-negros displayed a giant mosaic. The art carries the image of the goal that the Most Beloved scored against the miners in the 2024 final.

Thus, the scene, purposely set up facing the entrance tunnel, revived the moment when Gonzalo Plata scored a chip shot goal at the MRV Arena. "Take that chip shot," says the phrase that accompanies the image of the championship goal at Atlético-MG's home.

When will the return match between Flamengo and Atlético-MG be?

At the end of this Thursday's match, the teams are preparing for a round in the Brasileirão and then for the return match of the round of 16, which takes place on Wednesday (6). Therefore, the match will be at the MRV Arena, home of Atlético-MG where Flamengo became the champion of the Copa do Brasil of 2024.

How was the 2024 final?

After a 3-1 victory at the Maracanã, with two goals from Gabigol and one from Arrascaeta, Flamengo beat Atlético-MG 1-0. The goal from Gonzalo Plata came at the 38th minute of the second half. On a counterattack, the striker chipped the ball past the Atlético goalkeeper.
