Copa do Brasil under-15: second-round qualifiers confirmed

The Brazil U-15 Cup finalized the 16 teams that advanced to the second round over the weekend. The next stage will be played in a single-elimination, one-match format. Making its debut on the national calendar, the competition began with 32 teams divided into eight groups, with four teams in each. The top two teams from each group advanced.

Qualified teams:

Group A1 – São Raimundo-RR and Santa Cruz-AC;

Group A2 – Ceará and Santa Cruz-RN;

Group A3 – Atlético-MG and Fluminense;

Group A4 – Internacional and Palmeiras;

Group A5 – Paysandu and São Paulo-AP;

Group A6 – Vitória and Sport;

Group A7 – Flamengo and Atlético-GO;

Group A8 – Grêmio and Red Bull Bragantino.

After the weekend’s results, with the exception of Ceará, Grêmio, and Flamengo, who had already secured qualification in advance, the other clubs confirmed their places in the round of 16.

One interesting detail was the outcome in Group A1, in which all four teams finished the group stage with 4 points. Santa Cruz-AC and Fast Clube, for example, had the same number of points, the same number of wins, the same goal difference, and the same number of goals scored. The Acre team, however, won the tiebreaker because of the fifth criterion: fewer red cards received in the competition.

Results from the final round of the group stage:

Group A1 - Porto Velho 1 x 3 São Raimundo-RR / Santa Cruz-AC 2 x 1 Fast Clube-AM;

Group A2 – Ceará 5 x 0 Fluminense-PI / Santa Cruz-RN 4 x 1 Treze;

Group A3 – Atlético-MG 7 x 0 Gama-DF / Fluminense 3 x 0 Cuiabá;
