Fluminense and Vasco face each other in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 at the Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at 9:30 p.m. Brasilia time. The Rio de Janeiro derby follows a goalless draw in the first leg, although that scoreline did not reflect the high volume of play created by both teams.
During the first match, Fluminense forced Vasco goalkeeper Léo Jardim to star with three saves to rescue his team. Both sides showed low effectiveness despite promising attacks, as Fluminense hit the target with only three of their 11 attempts while Vasco put just one of their seven shots on goal. Solid defensive performances from both teams stood out as a positive highlight that limited attacking success.
