In the second half Vasco kept pressing, but Boca responded with increasingly dangerous attacks, prompting Vasco to tighten up. Gómez’s bizarre double‑yellow in ten seconds was a referee blunder.
Boca surged from all angles yet couldn’t find the equaliser. Vasco’s win puts them almost into the final, with the return leg set for Maracanã unless legal appeals shift it to Paraguay.
Stadium issue in Brazil
Vasco da Gama’s venue saga for the return leg finally landed in court.
Sao Januário fails capacity rules, so Vasco asked for Maracanã but Flamengo and Fluminense denied it. Botafogo’s Nilton Santos is synthetic, which both clubs reject.
Vasco da Gama secured court approval to play the return at Maracanã. Flamengo and Fluminense appealed, leaving the tribunal to decide. The second leg is slated for 20 October, 21:30 at Rio’s Maracanã, unless a ruling moves it to Paraguay.
