📹 Athletico-PR knock out São Paulo on penalties, progress in Copa do Brasil
At Ligga Arena, Athletico-PR knocked São Paulo out of the Copa do Brasil with a 3-0 win on penalties, after a 1-0 result in regular time. The match was extremely tense. It all started with the sending off of goalkeeper Rafael after just three minutes, leaving Tricolor Paulista one man down on the field. In this scenario, while Furacão wanted to play to try to overturn the opponent's advantage, São Paulo tried to "stop" every play and also pressured for a red card for a rival, especially the forward Viveros. To top it off, referee Felipe Fernandes de Lima (MG) "did the favor" of exaggerating in his lack of criteria, especially in his foul and yellow card decisions. Players from both teams even went to the locker room complaining about the refereeing. After halftime, Athletico-PR came back more offensive and pinned São Paulo back in their own half. The saving goal came in the 23rd minute, when Mendoza kept the ball from going out over the end line after a cross into the box, and rolled it back, where Esquivel fired a powerful shot across goal to open the scoring. ⚽ Penalties São Paulo: Sabino, Gonzalo Tapia and Jandrei missed Athletico-PR: Giuliano, Esquivel, Mendoza scored🚦 What's next With the qualification, Athletico-PR now waits for the CBF draw to find out their opponent in the quarterfinals. Tricolor Paulista returns to the field next Saturday (9th), when they host Vitória at MorumBIS, for the last round of the first half of the Brasileirão.

🔥 Everson shines, youngster misses penalty, Atlético-MG oust Flamengo
The fifth encounter between Atlético and Flamengo in the history of the Copa do Brasil was decided by penalties. After Galo triumphed at Maracanã, the Rubro-Negro got their revenge at Arena MRV by winning with the same score: 1-0 on Wednesday night (6). It was Atlético who came out on top in the penalty shootout (4-3) and qualified for the quarterfinals of the 2025 edition of the tournament in front of 38,873 spectators. Each goalkeeper saved a penalty, Wallace Yan sent his shot over the bar, and Everson secured the celebration for the black-and-white side. Which earned them a prize of R$ 4.7 and advantage erased Filipe Luís surprised everyone by betting on Wallace Yan and Cebolinha among the starting eleven. Flamengo controlled the action in the opening minutes against a very defensive Atlético. And it was the Rubro-Negro who took the lead at 20 minutes after a precise pass from Plata to Cebolinha, who got past Natanael and scored. Galo only threatened in the first half when Hulk tried his luck from outside the box and in a good move that ended with Scarpa taking a shot. A partial victory for the team that had more connections and inspiration on the field. Attempts and... penalties Galo came back for the second half with a more offensive approach. With Scarpa even hitting the crossbar. The persistent Hulk almost became the protagonist with an unlikely shot. But then, he mishit the rebound from Rossi. Filipe Luís and Cuca made more changes. The game became more open. And increasingly tense. But without real chances to score. Everson makes the difference again Arrascaeta took his penalty well. Everson guessed the right way, but couldn't reach the ball (0-1). Hulk made sure Rossi couldn't save by sending the Argentine the wrong way (1-1). Jorginho also gave Everson no chance (1-2). Scarpa was another who showed class. Rossi guessed right, but had no chance (2-2). Saúl converted his. Once again, a shot with no chance for the goalkeeper (2-3). Junior Alonso was stopped by Rossi (2-3). Samuel Lino saw Everson make the difference (2-3). Igor Gomes sent Rossi the wrong way to equalize (3-3). Wallace Yan sent his penalty over the bar (3-3). And Everson sent Galo through (4-3). Once again deciding a penalty shootout – just like in the Sudamericana. 📅 What now? Atlético awaits the draw for the quarterfinal matchups, which will take place next Tuesday (12). Both teams will be back in action over the weekend. On Saturday (8), the Rubro-Negro will host Mirassol. On Sunday (9), Galo will visit Vasco at São Januário. Both matches are for the 19th round of the Brasileirão.
