Chapecoense and Cruzeiro draw 0-0 in Copa do Brasil round of 16

The first‑leg match of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 between Chapecoense and Cruzeiro ended in a goalless draw at Arena Condá in Chapecó. Both sides created chances, including a disallowed goal for Cruzeiro’s Kaique Kenji after a corner, and several missed opportunities from Chapecoense’s Fernando and Cruzeiro’s Arroyo. The result leaves the tie level, with the decisive second leg scheduled for Wednesday, 5 August, at the Mineirão in Belo Horizonte.

After the match, a group of Cruzeiro supporters entered the anti‑doping testing room to take a photo with midfielder Matheus Pereira, who was undergoing a routine test. The intrusion was captured on social media and raised questions about stadium security and the confidentiality of the testing process. No official comment from the club has been released yet.
