The Flamengo guaranteed a place in their fourth consecutive semifinal of the Copa do Brasil after beating Bahia 1-0 at Maracanã, in a game marked by the dominant performance of Tite's team. With a decisive goal from Arrascaeta, the Rio team showed superiority in both the defensive and offensive sectors, exciting the more than 65 thousand fans present. The victory in the second leg of the quarter-finals was a clear demonstration that Flamengo still maintains the backbone that shone in 2019. The trio formed by Gerson, Bruno Henrique and Arrascaeta, which was fundamental to that year's historic campaign, continues to be a key player in the team's performance. Gerson, in particular, is experiencing the best moment of his career, being the team's main technical and emotional reference. Acting as a true leader on the field, he has stood out as a decisive player, both in the construction of plays and in marking. Bruno Henrique, for his time, it showed that it still has a lot to offer. Recovered from injuries and in good shape, the striker used his speed and physical strength to destabilize Bahia's defense, being one of the main responsible for the pressure exerted on the opponent's field. Arrascaeta, even without being in full physical shape, continues to be the team's biggest difference when it comes to unbalancing games. His goal was an example of how, even without being 100%, the Uruguayan is capable of deciding important matches. The defensive system also had a brilliant night. The duo formed by the experienced Léo Ortiz and the young Everton Araújo, aged 21, was crucial in holding back Bahia's attack. Everton, in their first match as a starter under Tite's command, showed maturity and calmness, both with the ball at their feet and in their defensive actions. The young midfielder, who had already shown his value on other occasions, such as in the 1-1 draw against Athletico-PR, when he scored the goal that saved Flamengo from defeat, stood out again, proving that he deserves more minutes on the field. .
This outstanding collective performance was essential for Flamengo remained firm in the search for another Copa do Brasil title. Tite's work, which has been rotating the squad and giving opportunities to younger players like Everton Araújo, is starting to show results. The combination between the experience of veterans and the youth of new talent has been one of the factors driving the team in this final stretch of the season.
