Flamengo took the best in 2013 and claimed the title, the club’s third in the Copa do Brasil (before lifting the cup in 1990 and 2006). After the 1-1 draw in the first leg, in Curitiba, coach Jayme de Almeida’s Flamengo won 2-0, with goals from Elias and Hernane, against 68,857 present in Maracanã.
The other meeting was in September of last year, until the quarterfinals of the Brazil Cup. After drawing 1-1 at the Arena da Baixada, in a duel marked by emotion, controversy and goals canceled after consultations with the VAR, the teams decided the place in Maracanã. The score was repeated, with goals from Gabigol and Ron. On penalties, Huracán got the best: Santos shone in the collection, took shots from Diego and Everton Ribeiro and secured the athletic classification, after winning 3 to 1 on penalties.
During the celebration, some Atlético players made fun of Flamengo in the celebration, making typical Gabigol gestures and covering their nose with their hand in allusion to the “smell”. Then, Huracán eliminated Grêmio and beat Inter in the final.
