The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has set the dates for the second phase of the Copa do Brasil, which will bring together 40 clubs between next Tuesday (8) and March 16. The matches will be played in a single game, without the advantage of a draw for the visiting team. If the game ends in a tie on the scoreboard, the classification of the third phase will take place on penalties. 
The Brazil-RS x Ponte Preta-SP duel opens the second phase of the tournament on Tuesday (7), at 8 p.m. (Brasília time), in the city of Pelotas. The following day, there will be three matches, including Camboriu-SC x Bahia, at 7 p.m. On Wednesday (9), Santos receives Iguatu-CE in Vila Belmiro at 9:30 p.m.
From the 14th, seven other Serie A teams from the Brazilian Championship will enter the competition: Coritiba, América-MG, Goiás, Botafogo, Bragantino, Vasco and Grêmio.
