Athletico and Flamengo decide this Wednesday (12) one of the four places for the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. At the Liga Arena, in Curitiba (PR), with tickets sold out, it is played at 21:30. After winning the first leg 2-1, with goals from Pedro and Bruno Henrique, Mais Querido played for an equaliser. But, in case of victory for the Hurricane on goal difference, the standings will be defined on penalties. The victory of the home team with two or more goals classifies the inhabitants of Paraná.
Indeed, in addition to a place in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil, whoever advances in this Wednesday’s match will receive a cash prize of R$ 9 million.
where to look
In addition to Tv Globo, on open TV, SporTV (closed TV) and Amazon Prime (streaming) broadcast the match between Athletico and Flamengo.
How are Atletico Madrid doing?
As in the first leg, coach Wesley Carvalho will not be able to count on left-back Fernando or forwards Rômulo, Pablo and Willian Bigode who are injured at the Maracanã. Furthermore, Arturo Vidal, who moved from Rio de Janeiro to Curitiba, cannot play. After all, in addition to not being announced by Hurricane, he has already played in the competition for his former club. Even if Atletico progress, the Chilean will not be able to participate in the tournament this year.
The expectation is that Athetico enter the field with a very offensive team. At the Maracanã, the hurricane adopted a defensive position to accelerate on the break with the leading trio formed by Vitor Bueno, Canobbio and Vitor Roque. Incidentally, they should also start this Wednesday’s match as starters.
How is Flamengo?
Similar to Atletico, Flamengo also has embezzlements, but, on the other hand, has news for the confrontation of Curitiba. Defender Léo Pereira and forward Gabigol, who were in the medical ward, have recovered from their injuries and are available for Jorge Sampaoli. The recently signed defensive midfielder Allan also joined the Rossoneri delegation and is going to the match against Atletico Madrid.
In addition to Vidal, who is taking care of the final details to leave the club, Flamengo will not have Bruno Henrique, who is injured. Matheuzinho doesn’t play either, in transition.
