Vasco da Gama draws 1-1 with Mirassol, prepares for Copa Sudamericana and Copa do Brasil ties

Vasco da Gama were held to a 1-1 draw by Mirassol in the Brazilian Serie A match at São Januário, with Andrés Gómez scoring for the home side. The result leaves Vasco with limited time before a congested schedule of knockout fixtures.

On Wednesday the club will face Colombian side Independiente Medellín in the Copa Sudamericana, needing a simple victory to reach the round of 16. Following that, they will play back‑to‑back games against Fluminense in the Copa do Brasil, where a loss would end their campaign. Player Puma Rodríguez emphasized the “win‑or‑go‑out” nature of these matches and said the team must stay focused despite the league commitments.
