At Nilton Santos Stadium, Vasco and Botafogo are currently tied 1 x 1, this Thursday (11), for the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil.
Since the first leg ended 1 x 1, at SĂŁo JanuĂĄrio, the current result is leading the decision to penalties.
The Giant of the Hill opened the score after an incredible mistake by Neto.
After a long free kick from Philippe Coutinho, the ex-Barcelona goalkeeper went with a "soft hand", the ball hit the post, and Nuno Moreira caught the rebound with his head.
The classic, which was "hot" and with many discussions on the field in the first half, also had controversy, when JoaquĂn Correa was knocked down by LĂ©o Jardim in the area.
The Vasco players complained that the alvinegro striker "threw himself" at the goalkeeper's exit.
Alex Telles took the penalty very well and made it all even.
With the result of the first half, the spot in the semifinals is looking to be decided by penalties.
Fluminense, which eliminated Bahia, at MaracanĂŁ, last Wednesday (10), is waiting to know the opponent of the next phase.
In the other bracket, everything decided! Cruzeiro eliminated Atlético-MG with a 4 x 0 on the aggregate score and will face Corinthians, which dispatched Athletico-PR with a 3 x 0 in the sum of the two games.
