The first six qualifiers for the round of 16 of the D Series of the Brazilian Championship are already known.
Leader of Group A6 in the qualifying phase, Portuguesa fell at Canindé.
After the 1-0 defeat away from home, Lusa beat Mixto by the same score.
But was overtaken by the Mato Grosso team in the penalty shootout.
Without aim, Lusa even gained a reprieve after Mixto missed their last two shots, ensuring alternate shots.
But goalkeeper Mota – who had already stood out in the first leg – shone again and the Mato Grosso team made 4×3 to qualify.
Awaits Cianorte or Joinville in the round of 16 – the return match will be this Sunday.
The “comfort” for Lusa is that they already have a spot guaranteed in the next D Series for their campaign in the Paulistão this year.
Bolívia Querida disappoints
Team with a lot of tradition and that has been in free fall in recent years, Sampaio Corrêa also stayed on the way.
After the 1-1 draw in São Luís, Bolívia Querida was defeated by Manauara 1-0. Goal by David Peninha.
Will only play the D Series in 2026 if Maranhão and Imperatriz win promotion to the C Series next year.
The Amazonas team will face ASA or Ferroviário – who are still dueling – in the round of 16.
The Catarinense Barra beat FC Cascavel again, this time 3-0, and advanced with a 4-0 aggregate score. Will face Ceilândia next.
Gato Preto dispatched Água Santa by winning 1-0 at Abadião – the first leg was 1-1.
Aparecidense advances with excitement
Maricá returned the 2-1 against Aparecidense playing away from home.
But the team led by Lucio Flavio and who had the best campaign in the qualifying phase sought the 2-2 draw already in extra time.
Awaits whoever advances between São José-RS and Goiatuba – the return match is still this Saturday.
There was excitement in Limeira. Inter saw Marcílio Dias score in the fourth minute. Was left with one less player at 41′, but sought the tie still in the first half.
The expectation was for penalties after the scoreless draw in the first leg, but the home team sought the 2-1 win at 95′ to qualify.
Will face Rio Branco-ES or Luverdense – who are facing each other – in the round of 16.
