Wasn’t it worth scoring a goal?
The round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil kicked off this Saturday (1st).
There were three matchups, 270 minutes not counting stoppage time in each game and…
… NOT A SINGLE GOAL!Â

The last attempt happened at Vila Belmiro during Santos versus Remo.
Which ended with plenty of boos from Peixe’s fans.Â
Check out a summary of each matchup below.Â
Could that be a good idea? 🤣
Defender was the standout in Vasco 🆚 Flu
The first match kicked off at 5:30 p.m.
Fluminense were slightly better, as they had three good chances to score.
Vasco, meanwhile, had only one real opportunity.
It was up to Igor Rabello, the Tricolor defender, to be named man of the match.

He formed an alternative pairing with Ignácio, since Thiago Silva, Freytes, Jemmes and Millán are injured.

Alisson Safira nearly put Juventude ahead in the first half of the 7 p.m. clash.
But his shot crashed off the crossbar while Atlético had more possession and attacking pressure.
Then came the second half and a persistent Galo. Including Igor Gomes hitting the post from a free kick.
They will face each other again on Tuesday (4th) at Alfredo Jaconi.
There was even a goal, but… 😤
Santos tried to take the initiative right from the first half.

They tried, tried and… came up empty.
And they almost saw Jajá open the scoring for Leão.
Another notable moment of the first half was the elbow from Zé Ricardo on João Ananias. It resulted in a yellow card and no VAR review.Â
Gabigol even ran off to celebrate what would have been his 100th goal in a Santos shirt in the second half.
But Neymar’s corner kick curled out from the outside.Â
Neymar battled hard, but couldn’t make the difference.
And Peixe also lost Lucas VerÃssimo to a possible injury.
The second leg will be next Tuesday (4th). And Mangueirão will be the stage.Â
