The quarter-final comeback duel is scheduled for October 8th, in Fortaleza.

The qualifiers for the semi-finals will be defined next Wednesday (10), when the two teams meet again at the Castellan Stadium. Whoever advances will be measured against the winners of the next phase against Atlético-GO and Nacional (Uruguay). The Dragons won 1-0 in the first game last Tuesday (2).

Against Morumbi, the goal came just 24 minutes into the second half, when Nikon picked up the ball at the edge of the area, fixed it and hit it hard with his left foot.

Now the teams focus on the Brazilian Championship, where Ceará visits Botafogo on Saturday (6), and São Paulo hosts Flamengo at Morumbi on the same day.
