Red Bull Bragantino showcased a dominant performance against Criciúma in the second leg of their Copa do Brasil third-round tie, securing a resounding 6-0 victory at the Estádio Cicero de Souza Marques. This win propelled them to the next stage with a 6-1 aggregate score. Lucas Barbosa was the star of the show, bagging a hat-trick, while Thiago Borbas contributed with a brace. Eduardo Sasha opened the scoring with an early penalty. The home side's attacking prowess was evident, converting eight of their 19 shots into goals.
Despite having slightly less possession (48.9% vs. 51.1%), Red Bull Bragantino were far more clinical in front of goal, as Criciúma only managed one shot on target from their 12 attempts. The AI-powered pre-game prediction correctly forecasted a Red Bull Bragantino win, aligning with the actual result and home team's rate (0.523 vs 0.432 of away team), although the margin of victory was significantly larger than anticipated. The AI model did not anticipate a balanced game, and the match certainly lived up to this assessment.
Considering recent form, Red Bull Bragantino had been inconsistent, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five games. However, this commanding victory suggests a return to form as they prepare to face Juventude in the Brazilian Serie A. On the other hand, Criciúma, struggling in Serie B, have managed only one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five matches, making them face Coritiba next round with some worries. Considering the previous head-to-head match this month where Criciúma won 1-0, Red Bull Bragantino demonstrated a significant response in this Copa do Brasil match.
Criciúma's previous game against Red Bull Bragantino was a 1-0 victory at home in the first leg, indicating a potential tactical advantage that they failed to replicate away. Red Bull Bragantino's improved attack and defensive solidity secured their spot in the next round, reversing the result of the previous match and demonstrating a stark contrast in performance between the two legs of this Copa do Brasil tie.
