Don’t Miss Vasco da Gama vs. Santa Fe in the Copa Sudamericana Quarterfinals LIVE on beIN SPORTS

Vasco da Gama and Independiente Santa Fe will battle for a place in the 2026 Copa Sudamericana semifinals on Tuesday, September 15. After a 0-0 draw in the first leg in Bogotá, everything remains to be decided at São Januário in Rio de Janeiro.

Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. ET, with coverage beginning at 5:50 p.m. ET on beIN SPORTS. Venezuelan referee Alexis Herrera will officiate the decisive second leg.

Santa Fe had opportunities to take an advantage at El Campín, but Vasco held firm. Now the Colombian side must chase qualification away from home, with history providing some inspiration: 30 years ago, Santa Fe eliminated Vasco on penalties in the semifinals of the 1996 Copa CONMEBOL.

How Vasco da Gama Enter the Match

Vasco da Gama enter the Sudamericana showdown while dealing with a much more difficult situation in the Brasileirão, where they sit 17th and are fighting to move away from the relegation zone.

However, the Brazilian side received an important confidence boost with a 2-1 victory over Gremio in Porto Alegre ahead of this quarterfinal decider. They now return home with the opportunity to secure a place in the final four.

The goalless draw in Bogotá also gives Vasco reason for optimism. They survived Santa Fe’s best moments and managed to bring a completely level tie back to São Januário.

How Independiente Santa Fe Enter the Match

Santa Fe also arrive with renewed confidence after defeating Deportes Tolima 1-0 and climbing back into the top eight of the 2026-II Liga BetPlay.

El León have suffered only one defeat through eight matches in the Colombian championship, although their four draws illustrate their difficulties turning competitive performances into victories.

The challenge will be considerably greater in the Sudamericana. Santa Fe must handle the pressure of São Januário and find the goal they could not produce in Bogotá if they want to return to a continental semifinal.

Final Verdict

Vasco da Gama have a slight edge because they will decide the tie at home, but the 0-0 result in Bogotá leaves the quarterfinal completely open.

Santa Fe already know what it takes to eliminate Vasco in a continental competition and travel to Brazil with reasons to believe they can do it again. With a semifinal berth at stake and nothing separating the teams after the first leg, this looks like a tie that could be decided by the smallest of margins.
