Vasco taunt Fluminense after reaching Copa do Brasil quarter-finals: "É o destino" | OneFootball

Vasco reached the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals with a 3-1 win over Fluminense at the Maracanã on Wednesday, after a goalless first leg on Saturday.

According to Globo.com, the club then posted "É o destino" on social media, a pointed nod to a Fluminense chant originally aimed at Vasco.

The jibe is familiar, with Vasco reviving the phrase in recent years after notable victories against their rivals. Recent knockout clashes have further stoked the rivalry.

The most recent of those was the 2025 Copa do Brasil semi-final, when Vasco again advanced past the Tricolor.

Their next opponents will be determined by a draw scheduled for next Tuesday at 23:00.
