With the first match ending in a 1-1 draw at São Januário, the tie is completely open. Whoever wins in regular time secures a spot in the semifinals. In case of another draw, the decision will go to penalties.

Among the 23 names chosen by the coaching staff, the highlights are the presence of reinforcements Robert Renan and Matheus França, who are once again available. Striker Pablo Vegetti, the team’s main offensive reference, is also confirmed.

Vasco’s squad list:

Andrés Gómez, Barros, Coutinho, Daniel Fuzato, David, Estrella, Garre, Hugo Moura, Léo Jardim, Lucas Freitas, Lucas Oliveira, Lucas Piton, Mateus Carvalho, Matheus França, Nuno Moreira, Pablo, Paulinho, Paulo Henrique, Puma Rodríguez, Rayan, Robert Renan, Tchê Tchê, Vegetti, and Victor Luis.

The Copa do Brasil is considered a priority for Vasco this season, since the team is only in 15th place in the Brazilian Championship and failed to advance in the Copa Sudamericana. Reaching the semifinals could mean not only relief for the squad, but also a turning point for the rest of the year.
