Regarding the last game (2-0 over Bahia, still in the Brasileirão), coach Luis Zubeldía opted only for the entry of Soteldo in place of Canobbio, for Fluminense.

For Vasco, coach Fernando Diniz sent the reserves to the field for the last round of the Brasileirão, when they were defeated 5-0 by Atlético-MG.

So, compared to the previous game against Mirassol (a 2-0 defeat), the coach chose to place only Pumita Rodríguez in place of the injured Lucas Piton.
