Atlético-MG and Juventude draw 0-0 in Copa do Brasil round of 16 first leg
On 1 August 2026, Club Atlético Mineiro (Atlético‑MG) hosted Esporte Clube Juventude at the Arena MRV in Belo Horizonte for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. The match ended in a goalless draw, leaving the tie open for the return leg in Caxias do Sul.
Both sides created chances: Juventude’s Alisson Safira struck the post after a cross, and Atlético‑MG’s Igor Gomes saw a free‑kick hit the crossbar. Atlético‑MG dominated possession but could not convert, while Juventude defended resolutely and threatened on the counter‑attack. The teams will meet again on 4 August at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium, with the winner advancing to the quarter‑finals or the tie being decided by penalties if the second leg also ends level.
The match was broadcast exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Atlético‑MG’s coach Eduardo Domínguez and Juventude’s coach Maurício Barbieri fielded line‑ups featuring regulars such as Everson, Bernard, Dudu and Renan Lodi for the Galo, and Jandrei, Alisson Safira and Lucas Mineiro for the visitors. Newly registered striker Thiago Borbas was listed as eligible but his participation depended on fitness.
