Vasco begins its pursuit of the 2026 Conmebol Sudamericana title this Tuesday, September 9, with an away match against Santa Fe at El Campín. This encounter marks the first leg of their quarterfinal tie.
The decisive return leg is scheduled for next Tuesday, September 15, at São Januário. The victor of this matchup will proceed to face the winner of the parallel quarterfinal between Boca Juniors and São Paulo, who are playing their first leg on the same Tuesday evening.
In preparation for these significant continental fixtures, Vasco's coach, Pedro Emanuel, has opted to field a predominantly reserve team against Santa Fe. This strategic decision sees only goalkeeper Léo Jardim and left-back Lucas Piton retaining their places in the starting lineup from the team's recent 1-0 loss to Fluminense in the Brasileirão.
