📋 Atlético and Cruzeiro named for decider at Arena MRV

It’s time!

Atlético and Cruzeiro face off from 9 p.m. (Brasília time) this Tuesday, September 1.

It is the second leg of the 2026 Copa do Brasil quarter-finals.

The match will be played at Arena MRV.

Raphael Claus (Fifa-SP) will referee the match.

SporTV and Premiere will broadcast it.

Match situation 🆚

Any new draw, regardless of the score, after the 1-1 first leg will send the tie to a penalty shootout.

Whoever goes through will face Grêmio or Internacional in the semis — their second leg is on Thursday (3) after a 0-0 draw in the first match.

And will secure prize money of R$ 9 million.

Galo come into the match in good form, unbeaten in 13 games and coming off a Brasileirão win after resting several starters.

The big doubts were the actual conditions of Everson and Ruan.

The goalkeeper did not face Vitória because of trauma to his left foot.

The center-back, meanwhile, went through concussion protocol after a collision with Kaio Jorge.

Both have been confirmed.

Raposa are chasing a place in the next round to soften the frustration of their Copa Libertadores exit.

There had been expectations of a tactical change, with Matheus Henrique getting a chance in midfield.

But Artur Jorge kept the system with two wingers.

Cleared to play after receiving only a warning, Kaio Jorge will try to end a five-match drought.
