Copa do Brasil: Semifinals Within Sight!

And it doesn’t stop there! The Copa do Brasil draw put Vasco on Palmeiras’ path. The teams will face each other in the semifinals, starting on 1th of November, at the Nubank Parque. Meanwhile, the decisive match is on 8, but the Vasco side is still deciding where this showdown will take place: will it be at São Januário or the Maracanã?

Other Semifinals

On the other side, Grêmio will face Atlético-MG. And we can’t forget that Fluminense, after overcoming Independiente Rivadavia and Platense, now has the mission of challenging Palmeiras. Verdão, for its part, showed its strength by eliminating Cerro Porteño and LDU.
