Vasco's battle on the field

On the field, the tension is at its peak. Vasco has four matches in 15 days: Mirassol and Atlético-MG in the Brasileirão, and two clashes against Fluminense in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil.

The goal is clear: to win the Copa for the second time or secure a spot in the Libertadores via the G8. The planning of reinforcements for 2026 directly depends on the outcome of these competitions.
