The last six teams to qualify for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil were announced on Thursday (22).
With another team from Pot 2 making it through: CRB, who eliminated Santos with Neymar on the field.
And guaranteed another Alagoan team among the top 16.
There was also Red Bull Bragantino thrashing Criciúma with an unappealable 6-0 score.
See below EVERYTHING about the third phase of the Copa do Brasil and what's to come.
Division of classified teams by division 👇🏽
Série A: Atlético, Bahia, Botafogo, Corinthians, Cuzeiro, Flamengo, Fluminense, Internacional, Palmeiras, Red Bull Bragantino, São Paulo and Vasco
Série B: Athletico and CRB
Série C: CSA and Retrô
Classics in sight in the round of 16?
The round of 16 matchups will be announced after a new draw held by the CBF.
But still without a defined date. The trend is that it will happen before the start of the Club World Cup (June 14).
The certainty is that the Copa do Brasil will only be resumed after the tournament held in the United States.
The first leg matches are likely to take place between July 29 and 31.
And the return matches are expected to be played between August 5 and 7.
There are no restrictions, which can guarantee several classics.
The expectation is that a new draw will be held for the quarterfinals with the bracket defined until the final.
3️⃣ from Pot 2 advanced
The draw for the third phase matchups put a team from Pot 1 against a representative from Pot 2.
This division was determined thanks to the position of each team in the last CBF Club Ranking.
And only three teams that were in Pot 2 qualified.
These were the cases of Retrô, CSA, and CRB.
In ninth place in the ranking, Fortaleza dropped to 63rd.
Tenth-placed Grêmio was eliminated and dropped to 42nd.
And Santos, who was 16th, dropped to 27th.
Ceará was the only team from Série B that didn't make it to Pot 1.
And Capital was the only team without points in the ranking, since this year's Copa do Brasil was its first national competition in history.

Awards that made a difference! 🤑
Rookie Capital didn't succeed against Botafogo, but celebrated (and a lot) for reaching the third phase.
The team from the Federal District pocketed a total of R$ 4.1 million.
Same case (and value) as Maracanã, a small Ceará club that competed in the tournament for the second time in its history.
Maringá, Aparecidense, Botafogo da Paraíba, Brusque, and Náutico pocketed the same amount.
All the mentioned teams earned R$ 830,000 in the first phase, plus R$ 1 million for qualifying for the second phase, and another R$ 2.3 million for reaching the third phase.
Olaria, a team that doesn't even play in the top division of the Campeonato Carioca, surprised by eliminating ABC in the first phase.
They were eliminated by Brusque in the next phase, but earned R$ 1.8 million - R$ 1 million more than they expected to earn.
