Vasco reshape penalty list for Copa do Brasil decider with Fluminense | OneFootball

According to PaponaColina, Vasco could need a penalty shootout to settle their Copa do Brasil tie with Fluminense after a 0-0 first leg. The club will head into the clássico with a very different picture from last year, having overhauled their list of takers. Another draw would take it to penalties.

The exits of Vegetti, Philippe Coutinho, Rayan and Victor Luís have left a gap among the designated specialists. Of last season’s regulars only full-back Puma Rodríguez remains, and the Uruguayan has taken responsibility in 2026, converting two of his three attempts.

Head coach Pedro Emanuel is studying this year’s data to set his order for the Maracanã. Claudio Spinelli, Johan Rojas, Tchê Tchê and David have scored all their efforts across the Campeonato Carioca, Campeonato Brasileiro, Copa do Brasil and Copa Sul-Americana.

Striker Brenner has fluctuated from the spot, having missed two decisive penalties in 2026.

Beyond the recent candidates, Vasco also have players with positive records in previous seasons at São Januário, with Lucas Piton, Robert Renan and Jair among the alternatives. Training sessions have been ramped up this week to sharpen execution and aid their push to advance.
