Overview

  • The return leg is set for Sunday at 17:00 in São Januário with live coverage on TV Globo, SporTV, Premiere, GE TV and Amazon Prime Video and Rádio Nacional starting special pregame programming at 16:30.
  • Palmeiras arrives with a 1–0 first‑leg advantage after Maurício’s goal in the Nov. 1 match and will qualify with any draw or win.
  • Vasco needs a two‑goal victory to advance in regular time or a one‑goal win to force a penalty shootout, a task the team hopes home support can help achieve.
  • Team news lists Vasco without suspended defender Saldivia and with Andrés Gómez available to start, while Palmeiras is near full strength with Ramón Sosa cleared but midfielder Paulinho and Jefté sidelined by injury.
  • The CBF appointed Braulio da Silva Machado as referee and Wagner Reway as VAR for the match, which falls within the Copa do Brasil’s expanded 126‑team format that uses two‑leg ties from the fifth round through the semifinals.
