Paysandu advances to Copa do Brasil Sub-20 round of 16

Paysandu has advanced to the round of 16 in the Copa do Brasil Sub-20 following a 6-0 victory over Independência-AP at the Curuzu stadium. The match was heavily influenced by an early red card for Independência, allowing Paysandu to dominate the game. Scorers included Jorge Rafael, Capixaba, Gabriel Kauan, Kauã Hinkel, and Kerlon, with Gabriel Kauan netting twice.

In contrast, Tuna Luso Brasileira was eliminated from the competition after a penalty shootout against União-TO. Despite a 1-1 draw in regulation time—secured by a late penalty from Gilvan—Tuna lost the shootout 4-2. União-TO successfully converted all four of their penalty attempts.

As the sole representative from Pará remaining in the tournament, Paysandu awaits its next opponent, which will be determined by the general classification bracket of the 16 qualifying clubs. The upcoming knockout stages will consist of home and away matches.
