Flamengo and Atlético-MG face off in the first chapter of the Copa do Brasil final. The Rubro-Negro da Gávea has the Copa do Brasil as the last opportunity to guarantee a major title.

Coach Filipe Luís has accumulated good results, surpassing Corinthians in the Copa do Brasil semifinals and with two wins and one loss in the Brasileiro. However, the Rubro-Negro will have important absences for the decisive match, the Uruguayan midfielder De la Cruz, who has a right thigh injury, and the midfielder Pulgar and the attacker Bruno Henrique, both suspended. The left-back Alex Sandro is also in doubt, as he felt his right thigh. In a press conference, goalkeeper Rossi stated that he expects two very complicated matches for Flamengo.
