In a bad game, Operário and Fluminense draw for the Copa do Brasil

The team from Paraná missed the chance to gain an advantage in the match in front of their fans. Now, the mission will be in the middle of Maracanã, where Fantasma will play for the first time in its century-old history. The return duel is scheduled for May 12th, Tuesday, at 9:30 pm, in Rio de Janeiro. A new draw takes the decision to penalties.

With mixed teams, Operário and Fluminense had a truncated first half with few chances. John Kennedy with a shot to the left of the Vágner goal, in the 37th minute, and Boschillia, with a free kick over the goal, in the 43rd minute, were the most dangerous opportunities.

The return to the changing rooms promised to be more lively. In the first minutes, Millán took advantage of a corner kick and headed the ball dangerously towards the locals. Fantasma responded next, again with Boschilia, who took a risk from distance for a great save by Fábio. But that was it. The teams once again had difficulties in attack, with the defenses getting the better of them.

Before facing Fluminense, Operário went through Betim-MG (2nd phase), Capital-DF (3rd phase) and Londrina (4th phase) in the previous knockouts. Flu, in turn, debuted in the competition at this stage by playing in Series A.
