Historic game
Before becoming three-time Copa do Brasil champions in 2013, Flamengo secured their place in the quarterfinals in unforgettable fashion in a match against Cruzeiro. The opponent, at the time, was leading the Brazilian league and had the advantage of having won the first leg at home 2-1, making the Rubro-Negro's mission incredibly difficult. But everyone knows that nothing is impossible when the team and the Rubro-Negro Nation work together.
At a packed Maracanã stadium with over 50 fans who threw an indescribably emotional party, the daunting task became possible and finally came to fruition. With a stellar performance by Paulinho, who passed the ball to Elias to score the winning goal and secure qualification, Flamengo secured a memorable victory. Relive:
