Amazonas defeats Santa Cruz-AC 4-1 in Copa do Brasil Sub-20

Amazonas FC advanced to the round of 16 in the Copa do Brasil Sub-20 following a 4-1 comeback victory against Santa Cruz-AC at the Estádio Carlos Zamith in Manaus.

Santa Cruz-AC initially took the lead in the 47th minute of the first half with a goal by Caio Baía. However, Amazonas responded before halftime through Bernardo Daciolo. In the second half, Kadu extended the lead for Amazonas at the 10-minute mark, followed by a second goal from Daciolo at the 17-minute mark. Daciolo completed his hat-trick in stoppage time to secure the win.

Bernardo Daciolo, the son of former federal deputy and presidential candidate Cabo Daciolo, has been gaining prominence within the Amazonas squad. He previously gained experience with the senior team during a period when the club was under a FIFA transfer ban and required youth players to fill the roster.

Amazonas' next opponent will be determined via an Olympic format based on the overall performance of the 16 qualifying teams in the tournament.
