Botafogo scored 7-1 at Brasiliense, while other teams saw the underdog run wild throughout the entire round of the Copa do Brasil last Wednesday, 15
O Botafogo applied 7 to 1 on Brazilianbut he was the only one who confirmed his favoritism in the Brazil’s Cup. Apart from him, all the teams that were considered the probable clubs that would advance to the third phase, were surprised and did not continue in the competition. Teams like Marabá Eagle, Ypiranga, Volta Redonda and Ituano eliminated rivals like Goiás, Red Bull Bragantino, Atlético-GO and even the Ceará.
That is, the round of the Copa do Brasil last Wednesday, the 15th, was full of zebras. Who didn’t suffer from it and gave an important response to their fans was Botafogo. Eliminated from the Carioca Championship even before playing the state semifinals, Luis Castro’s team entered the field pressured by the result. Glorioso even saw Brasiliense generate some kind of problem, but had a hat-trick by Tiquinho Soares to thrash the rivals 7-1.
For those who watched Botafogo play, they already imagined that Red Bull Bragantino would not have many problems against Ypiranga, but that was not exactly what happened. The team went to Rio Grande do Sul, but did not have a great performance and left the competition with a painful elimination. The Gauchos dominated the match and gave no chance to Massa Bruta, who left with a 3-1 defeat.
Another Serie A team in the Brasileirão that did poorly in the Copa do Brasil was Goiás. The team faced Águia de Marabá and stayed at 0-0 during normal time. On penalties, Tadeu even took two penalties, but it was not enough and the home team eliminated Esmeraldino. Who also said goodbye to the competition through penalties was Ceará, who stayed 1-1 in normal time, but then lost to Ituano, who continued in the tournament.
To complete the round of zebras, at home, Atlético-GO received Volta Redonda and failed to beat the team from Rio. The 90 minutes ended in 1 to 1 and the classification of the Rio team came on penalties. In two other games, Nova Iguaçu beat Nova Mutum by 5-2, and CRB qualified with a 5-0 defeat of Operário.
