On Wednesday night (06), Flamengo beat Atlético-MG 1-0 at Arena MRV , in Belo Horizonte, in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. With the same score as the first leg, but in favor of Rubro-Negro, the decision of the spot was left to the penalty shootout . In the penalties, the Minas Gerais team was more efficient and advanced to the semifinals.
Despite a strong performance over the 90 minutes, the result wasn't enough. In the penalty shootout, Atlético-MG converted four of their five attempts, while Mengão missed a penalty each from Wallace Yan and Samuel Lino.
After the end of the match, Filipe Luís, who led the team in the coach's absence , commented on the starting lineup and explained that the decisions were made based on the physical conditions of the available athletes.
"The decision on the starting lineup first involved some who didn't travel, Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo, who weren't fit to play , were barred. Some couldn't start because they were on vacation, like Lino, Royal, and Saúl," said Filipe Luís .
"Arrascaeta felt discomfort in the last game. And I put together a team with the players I have, just like in the first game , enough to win and play a great game. That's how they did it," said the coach.
Now out of the Copa do Brasil competition, the Rio team's focus is now fully on the Brazilian Championship . Next Saturday (09), Mengão hosts Mirassol at Maracanã, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), for the 18th round of the competition.

The Ninho boys are in the final stretch of preparation for the U-20 World Cup final . On August 23, Flamengo faces Barcelona (ESP) at 4:30 pm (Brasília time) at Maracanã. Among the standouts, Matheus Gonçalves has already made himself available for the duel .
On social media, the club released promotional art for the match featuring the midfielder . Matheus reposted the post, reinforcing expectations that Bruno Pivetti will be used in the final. The midfielder was part of the U-20 World Cup-winning team last season, with the victory over Olympiacos.
The player was close to being traded to Cruzeiro and even reached an agreement with Pedro Lourenço, president of the Minas Gerais State Football Association (SAF). However, Flamengo opted to keep him. Without many opportunities under Filipe Luís, Matheus asked to play for the under-20s , where he excelled and returned to the professional squad.
Matheus Gonçalves remains one of the main names for a possible departure from Flamengo . Besides Cruzeiro, Red Bull Bragantino has also expressed interest in signing the midfielder. On the international market, CSKA Moscow has already signaled to Mengão that it intends to make an official offer in the coming days.
Even with the focus on the U-20 World Cup, Matheus Gonçalves remains available for the main team and may be related to the match against Mirassol , this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brasileirão. The broadcast will be exclusive to Premiere, via pay-per-view.
