Setback in the South American Cup

This was the second training session for the team led by Renato Gaúcho after the 1-0 defeat to Lanús from Argentina. The result left the Tricolor das Laranjeiras at a disadvantage for the return leg of the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals, needing to win by two or more goals to secure a spot in the semifinals.

Situation in the Brazilian Championship

In the Brasileirão, the club hasn't won in three matches and needs to respond to the fans against Vitória. However, it is likely to rest its main players, as they were used midweek.

The Carioca Tricolor is currently in tenth place on the table, with 28 points. On the other hand, Vitória is 17th, with 22 points, and is coming off a 2-0 defeat to Fortaleza.

Later this afternoon, the Tricolor delegation will head to Salvador, where they will stay for the Brasileirão match.
