Éder Luís celebrates his goal in last night's Copa Brasil final
Vasco da Gama finally got their hands on the Copa Brasil with an away goals victory over
Coritiba. In a hard fought two-legged contest Vasco had prevailed with a 1-0 win at home in the
first leg before travelling to Coritiba for last night's return fixture.
The first leg of the Copa Brasil final took place last night with Vasco da Gama winning by a
narrow 1-0 victory over Coritiba. Alecsandro scored just five minutes into the second half to give
Vasco the advantage in front of a sell-out crowd at their home Estádio São Januário. Neither
club has ever won the Copa Brasil before in their history and with Coritiba playing host in next
Wednesday's second leg one thing that is guaranteed is that there will be a new name on the trophy
whoever comes out on top.
There will be a new name on the Copa Brasil trophy this year as Vasco da Gama and Coritiba
secured semi-final, second leg wins on Wednesday night.
Vasco da Gama, one of Brazil's biggest clubs, have surprisingly never won this tournament but
have a great chance to add their name to the list of winners following their 3-1 aggregate defeat
of Avaí FC.
