After the 1-1 draw against Internacional, Flamengo returned to training at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center with news for the fans. This Thursday (31), left-back Alex Sandro and defender David Luiz participated in the activities under the command of coach Filipe Luís. Both players were recovering from physical problems that prevented them from playing in the last match for the Brazilian Championship, in Beira-Rio.
Alex Sandro was undergoing treatment for a muscle injury in his right thigh, the athlete must return to assume a position on the left flank in the duel against Galo, in the first game of the final Brazilian Cup. It is worth highlighting that Ayrton Lucas has been criticized by fans due to a season below expectations. Another who should return as a starter, compared to the last game, is Léo Pereira in Fabrício Bruno's place.

However, coach Filipe Luís will have to deal with two important absences: Pulgar, suspended for a third yellow card, and Bruno Henrique, who was sent off in the semi-final against Corinthians.
In light of this, Everton Araújo and Michael emerge as likely options to fill Pulgar and Bruno Henrique's vacancies, respectively. The coach is still studying the possibility of using Alcaraz in place of De La Cruz, who is still recovering.

The match between Atlético-MG and Flamengo ended in a thrilling finale at Mineirão Stadium. After a 1-0 victory for Flamengo in regulation time, which tied the aggregate score at 1-1, qualification for the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals was decided by penalty kicks . With a stellar performance by goalkeeper Everson, who saved several shots and even converted his own, Flamengo won 4-3 on penalties and advanced in the competition.
Flamengo needed the win and was superior for much of the match. From the start, they dominated possession and created the best chances. In the 20th minute of the first half, Everton Cebolinha opened the scoring after an assist from Plata , dribbling past Natanael and finishing with precision. The goal galvanized the team, which had further opportunities through Pedro, Wallace Yan, Jorginho, and Cebolinha again, but the second goal was not forthcoming.
Despite the pressure, Atlético-MG managed to stay in the game, even struggling to impose its rhythm against the opponent's strong marking. Attacks by Hulk and Scarpa created danger, but were not enough to equalize. The match ended 1-0 to Flamengo , sending the decision to penalties.
In the penalty shootout, Everson's experience made the difference. The goalkeeper saved Samuel Lino's penalty and saw Wallace Yan miss by sending the ball over the bar. He also confidently converted his own penalty into the bottom corner. For Galo, Igor Gomes, Gustavo Scarpa, and Hulk also scored. For Flamengo, Saúl, Jorginho, and Arrascaeta scored, but it wasn't enough.
With a 4-3 penalty shootout , Atlético-MG secured their place in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. Mengão, in turn, bows out of the national competition despite a strong performance in regulation time.
