The league table is allowed to rest as Athletico PR and Flamengo battle for Copa do Brasil honors in this first Semi-finals leg of two fixtures.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

These teams have little in common geographically as Flamengo have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
