📋 Vasco name side for trip to Independiente Medellín | OneFootball

Vasco is back in the Copa Sudamericana, where they face Independiente Medellín at 7 p.m. this Wednesday in Colombia. 

The match is the first leg of the Sudamericana playoffs and will be played at Atanasio Girardot Stadium behind closed doors, as the Colombian side is serving a punishment for the incidents in the match against Flamengo.

After the defeat to Vitória in Pedro Emanuel’s debut with Vasco, he is sending out his strongest lineup for the match in Colombia. The main doubt was between Rojas and Nuno Moreira, but the choice was the Portuguese midfielder.

Compared to the team that lost to Vitória, Brenner returns to lead the attack in place of Spinelli. Andrés Gómez is also back in the starting lineup.

Vasco will start with: Léo Jardim; Puma, Cuesta, Robert Renan and Cuiabano; Barros, Thiago Mendes and Nuno Moreira; Adson, Andrés Gómez and Brenner.

Independiente underwent a reshuffle during the tournament and will have head coach Luis Amaranto Perea making his debut.
