Fluminense confront Vasco da Gama for kudos and victory.

Little time to rest for the hosting team, as they featured in a Copa Libertadores fixture only four days ago. This match was also played here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Vasco da Gama have had more rest.
