Vasco in Copinha: Youngsters must win to avoid a miracle, watch here | OneFootball

Friday (9th) promises strong emotions for Vasco da Gama fans. The under-20 team returns to the field at Estádio José Vessi, in Cravinhos, for a decisive match in the third and final round of Group 12 of the São Paulo Junior Football Cup. The opponent is I9, a newcomer club in the competition, and the ball starts rolling at 7:30 PM (Brasília time).

Qualification Mathematics

Vasco's scenario became complicated after the surprising defeat in the last round against Guanabara City, even playing with one more player throughout the second half. Now, the team enters the field knowing exactly what it needs. A simple victory guarantees qualification for the knockout stage without depending on anyone else.

If Vasco only draws, the drama increases: the spot will only be secured if Velo Clube does not win against Guanabara City in the preliminary match (which takes place at 5:15 PM at the same location). On the other side, I9, with only one point after drawing with Velo, plays for "all or nothing": only a win matters for the São Paulo team to advance to the next stage. Therefore, it is a do-or-die game for both sides.
