Goalkeeper Léo Jardim once again shone under the Vasco crossbar and saved a penalty that helped the team secure qualification against Água Santa. Very good in the first half and struggling in the second half, Cruz-Maltino made sure the fans were happy in a complicated game in São Januário.

– Rather than talking about the irregularity, I think it’s important to highlight the resilience of the team, which suffered in the second half and had a strong mentality to go for the draw. Then they had to keep their heads to win the penalty shootout and qualify.
Despite advancing, Léo believes that Ramón Díaz’s team needs to correct mistakes for the rest of the season.
– We have things to correct, to improve, and now we’ll see what the coach has to say. I’d like to congratulate the group because it was a great night.
Dimitri Payet won special affection from the Vasca goalkeeper after scoring in the penalty shootout.
– It’s a pleasure to play with Payet, he’s helped us a lot both on and off the pitch. He’s a leader and I can only thank him.
