Flamengo and Atlético-MG Start Title Decision in the Copa do Brasil

Flamengo Wins in Belo Horizonte

Flamengo won the first leg of the Copa do Brasil final against Atlético-MG by 1x0. The match was played at the Mineirão stadium in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The goal that gave victory to the team from Rio de Janeiro was scored by Fabrício Bruno.

Flamengo Can Secure Title Decision at Home

With the result, Flamengo can decide the title in front of their crowd. The second leg of the final will be played next Wednesday (26), at the Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro. If Flamengo wins, they will win their fourth Copa do Brasil title.

Atlético-MG Will Aim for Reverse

Atlético-MG will need to win by at least two goals away from home to secure the title. The team has won the Copa do Brasil once, in 2014. The team from Belo Horizonte will try to reverse the result and be champions again.
