Vasco register two new players for Copa Sudamericana semi-final | OneFootball

Vasco have registered midfielder Alan Lescano and defender Gabriel Pereira for the Copa Sudamericana, with CONMEBOL approving their paperwork ahead of the Boca Juniors semi-final. Both are available to Pedro Emanuel’s squad, adding options in training at São Januário.

According to PaponaColina, Lescano has been signed outright from Argentinos Juniors, while Pereira arrives on loan with an obligation to buy at the end of the deal. The pair are eligible for the first leg on 13 October in Buenos Aires.

Forward Facundo Colidio remains ineligible for the international competition due to regulations. He continues to train with the squad and will feature only in the remaining Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil fixtures.

The first leg will be played at La Bombonera at 21:30. The return is set for 20 October in Rio de Janeiro, at the same time, with the winner reaching the single final in Montevideo.

The additions widen Vasco’s tactical options away from home, with Lescano in midfield and Pereira reinforcing the defence. The club aim to withstand Argentine pressure before deciding the tie in front of their fans.
