In Peru, Vasco drew 3-3 with Melgar on Wednesday (2), in the teams' debut in the group stage of the 2025 Conmebol Sudamericana.

Back in international competitions, the Giant of the Hill Giant started with everything.

Coutinho scored a goal by sending it to the opponent's angle, in a beautiful finish from the tip of the big area.

The Peruvians had the chance to tie, but Tomás Martínez wasted a penalty.

And Vasco took advantage! Coutinho gave a fabulous three-finger assist to Vegetti, who appeared at the second post to complete first and increase.

Melgar still decreased with Rodríguez at the end of the first half, but Vegetti, at the beginning of the final stage, showed all his quality as a center forward to take advantage of the assistance in the area, after Vasco recovered the ball in the attacking field.

In the final stretch, Facundo Castro decreased with a header and put fire in the game.

And the punishment for retreating so much came in the last minute of regular time, with Kenji Cabrera taking advantage of a new cross in the area to head and beat Léo Jardim.

📆 How it stays

Vasco returns to the field on Saturday (5), when visiting Corinthians, at Neo Química Arena, for the second round of the 2025 Brazilian Championship.
