Corinthians and Vasco kick off the battle for the grand final of the Copa do Brasil this Wednesday, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo (SP). The two teams face each other in the first leg of the final.
Corinthians and Vasco will replay the 2000 Club World Cup final in the Copa do Brasil final. On that occasion, Timão were crowned world champions after defeating Cruzmaltino on penalties, 4-3, at Maracanã. Now, we’ll see if the result will be the same or if destiny has something different in store.
Corinthians and Vasco fans suffered in the semifinals. Timão lost the match in Itaquera to Cruzeiro and took the decision to penalties after a 2-2 draw. Hugo Souza outshone Cássio and secured the São Paulo side’s place in the final. Meanwhile, at Maracanã, also with a 2-2 aggregate draw, Léo Jardim shone and took Cruzmaltino to the Copa do Brasil final.
To reach the final, Corinthians eliminated Novorizontino (third round), Palmeiras (round of 16), Athletico-PR (quarterfinals), and Cruzeiro (semifinals). On the other side, Vasco got past Operário-PR (third round), CSA (round of 16), Botafogo (quarterfinals), and Fluminense (semifinals).
