The match

Looking for another comeback at home in this Copa do Brasil, Vitória tried to put pressure on Vasco from the start.

Leão looked especially dangerous from set pieces and crosses into the box.

But it was Vasco who created the main scoring chances. 

In the first half, Spinelli had a great chance to open the scoring with a header, but hit the post.

Right at the start of the second half, Vitória did find the net again from another set-piece situation.

However, the play was ruled out for Luan Cândido’s marginal offside.

As time went on, Vitória threw more men forward and, just like in the first leg, Vasco took advantage of a counterattack to open the scoring.

Andrés Gómez “recreated” the move he had produced himself at São Januário, driving forward at speed and finding the net with a shot from outside the box.
