Flamengo coach Wanderley Luxemburgo has claimed his side won"t be looking to merely defend their lead when they meet Atletico-MG in the second leg of their Copa do Brasil semi-final.

Luxemburgo"s side won the first leg 2-0 on Wednesday thanks to goals from Victor Caceres and Chicao, but the manager said that his team will be on the frontfoot when they square off once more.

He said: ‘If we get through [to the final] with the advantage then great, if Atletico get through then they will have deserved it, we cannot play to defend this result in the second game.

‘Those who came to the Maracana saw a great game, but it is not over. We have an edge, but it is a game of 180 minutes."
