Vasco da Gama were the hosts in the second leg of Clube Atlético Mineiro’s triumphant semi. Hulk scored a wonderful late equaliser on the night, and a 1-1 scoreline saw them go through to the final after winning the first leg in Belo Horizonte 2-1.

As the rain poured down in Rio de Janeiro Philippe Coutinho and the hosts, much like Corinthians, didn’t threaten enough from open play, and probably didn’t deserve to reach a date with destiny. Vasco haven’t won a major title since they won this trophy back in 2011, so their wait for silverware goes on.
Clube Atlético Mineiro face River Plate in the Copa Libertadores in what will be a hectic few weeks of league and cup football. They have to contest with the Copa final, Copa Libertadores semi final and still try and qualify for continental football next year through the league table, incase they don’t win either trophy.
After cup victories in 2014 and 2021 Mineiro are searching for a third title in a decade, but with a lot of important football on their plate it will be interesting to see how this undoubtedly talented squad will fare when it is stretched to the maximum. No away goals rule applies in the Copa do Brasil, so if the final is level after both legs the tie will be decided on penalties, without any extra time being played.
