It was the club's sixth consecutive victory in shootouts, all with Jardim in goal. Since his arrival he has saved nine of 38 in those, close to 25%.

Including penalties taken in regulation as well as shootouts, he has 12 saves from 55, a rate above 20%.

Defeat in normal time was Vasco's eighth in their last 10 matches after a turbulent end to the Brazilian league campaign. Jardim said recent criticism was understandable, that the team must respond on the pitch, and he praised supporters for filling the stadium.
