During the confusion, João Victor was detained by Emiliano Diaz, Vasco's technical assistant. The defender tried to head towards Nilton – and the two argued extensively. But that was not the case. There was a disagreement between the other players and committee members from the two teams. Pero, one of Vasco's locker men, attacked one of the Agua Santa players, showing a leg injury.
The match was very tense. 17 yellow cards and three red cards were issued within 90 minutes. In addition to Joao Victor and Nilton, Igor Henrique was sent off after a foul by Payet.
Vasco is now waiting for his opponent in the next stage. A tie will determine the competitor in the third stage of the competition.
