Vasco da Gama march on in the cup
Manauara are out and Vasco da Gama go through, 12‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

A day Jair will not forget
3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Not going: Phillipe Gabriel stays at Vasco da Gama
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” BKMA had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Pablo has agreed to leave Vasco da Gama for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Vasco da Gama say no — this time
The offer from Kolkheti-1913 Poti for Pablo was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Santiago Sosa in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Vasco da Gama this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match12 Aug 2026
David among the goals in a wild afternoon
12 goals in one match, David on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Vasco da Gama and Manauara.
In brief
- The dugout The manager makes an example of Léo Jardim
- The terraces The crowd has taken to Johan Rojas
