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 â SĂŁo Raimundo-RR and Santa Cruz-AC;
Group A2 â CearĂĄ and Santa Cruz-RN;
Group A3 â AtlĂ©tico-MG and Fluminense;
Group A4 â Internacional and Palmeiras;
Group A5 â Paysandu and SĂŁo Paulo-AP;
Group A6 â VitĂłria and Sport;
Group A7 â Flamengo and AtlĂ©tico-GO;
Group A8 â GrĂȘmio and Red Bull Bragantino.
After the weekendâs results, with the exception of CearĂĄ, GrĂȘmio, 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 SĂŁo Raimundo-RR / Santa Cruz-AC 2 x 1 Fast Clube-AM;
Group A2 â CearĂĄ 5 x 0 Fluminense-PI / Santa Cruz-RN 4 x 1 Treze;
Group A3 â AtlĂ©tico-MG 7 x 0 Gama-DF / Fluminense 3 x 0 CuiabĂĄ;
Group A4 â Palmeiras 1 x 0 Athletico-PR / NĂĄutico-MS 0 x 13 Internacional;
Group A5 â Paysandu 5 x 1 Luminense-MA / SĂŁo Paulo-AP 1 x 1 BatalhĂŁo-TO;
Group A6 â VitĂłria 11 x 0 CEO-AL / Sport 9 x 0 Lagarto-SE;
Group A7 â Flamengo 5 x 0 AtlĂ©tico-GO / Porto VitĂłria-ES 2 x 3 AmĂ©rica-MG;
Group A8 â GrĂȘmio 1 x 0 AvaĂ / Red Bull Bragantino 4 x 2 Coritiba.
