Figueirense secured a crucial Copa do Brasil victory through Lucas Alves' late strike, punishing Amazonas' inability to capitalize on their home advantage. The match was largely cagey until a flurry of second-half substitutions opened up the contest, with both managers making tactical changes around the hour mark. Alves' 84th-minute breakthrough came against the run of play after Amazonas had dominated territory but failed to create clear-cut chances. This result gives Figueirense momentum in their cup campaign while leaving Amazonas to rue missed opportunities on home soil.
