At Barradão, Vasco tries to repeat 2009 feat against Vitória to reach Copa do Brasil semifinal; relive it

Vasco seeks its third consecutive Copa do Brasil semifinal by facing Vitória this Wednesday at Barradão, in Salvador. After winning the first leg 1-0 at São Januário, the Cruz-Maltino only needs a draw to advance, while a one-goal loss takes the decision to penalties. Vasco's record at Barradão is unfavorable — only six wins in 29 games against Vitória at the Bahian stadium — but the team tries to draw inspiration from the classification achieved at the same stage in 2009, when it managed to hold the opponent away from home. The teams have faced each other four times in the Copa do Brasil, with Vitória advancing in three of them.
