Puma Rodr铆guez scored the goal that sealed the result deep into second-half stoppage time.
Vasco’s opponent in the next round will be Palmeiras, who also knocked out Santos this Wednesday.
The match
Looking for another comeback at home in this Copa do Brasil, Vit贸ria tried to put Vasco under pressure from the start.
Le茫o looked especially dangerous from set pieces and crosses into the box.
But it was Vasco who created the best scoring chances.
In the first half, Spinelli had a great chance to open the scoring with a header, but hit the post.
Early in the second half, Vit贸ria did manage to find the net from another set-piece situation.

However, the play was ruled out for Luan C芒ndido’s razor-thin offside.
As time went on, Vit贸ria pushed further forward and, just like in the first leg, Vasco took advantage of a counterattack to open the scoring.
Andr茅s G贸mez “recreated” the move he himself had produced at S茫o Janu谩rio, driving forward at speed and finding the net with a shot from outside the box.
