Out of the Cup, 0-2 at the Barradão
Out of the Copa do Brasil and the ten-match unbeaten run is gone with it. We took a 2-1 first-leg lead to Salvador, ran up 26 shots, and still lost 2-0.
Out of the Copa do Brasil, and the ten-match unbeaten run goes with it. We took a 2-1 first-leg lead to the Barradão, ran up 26 shots and 70% of the ball per Jardim's own count, and still lost 2-0: Erick's unstoppable strike inside seven minutes, then a corner we didn't track in the 62nd for Luan Câncido. Jardim was direct afterwards, calling it not a disgrace but unexpected, with one blunt line: "we failed, we weren't competent enough to advance." Brasileirão and Libertadores are what's left, and Athletico away on Sunday is next, second on 30 points with a game in hand on Palmeiras.
