Two Brazilian clubs were eliminated from the South American Cup this Tuesday (22).
Vasco and Bahia did not achieve the results they needed and are out of the competition even before the round of 16.
Grêmio, Atlético-MG, and Fluminense continue to represent the country in the tournament.
The most difficult task of the day was Vasco's, which was thrashed by Independiente del Valle in the first leg by 4 x 0.
This Tuesday, at São Januário, the team led by Fernando Diniz fell behind in the score and sought a draw in the second half.
Meanwhile, in Colombia, Bahia needed to win to qualify after a 0 x 0 at Fonte Nova.
But América de Cali came out victorious with a goal scored after a mistake by Marcos Felipe and Ramos Mingo.
In search of an unlikely turnaround, Vasco started the match well.
The first clear goal chances were from the Brazilian team.
Just nine minutes in, Vegetti headed towards the goal, forcing goalkeeper Villar to make a great save.
With the score still at 0 x 0, Rayan received a pass almost in the small area and shot wide.
The punishment for poor aim didn't take long.
At 36 minutes into the game, Spinelli used his head to deflect a free kick and opened the score for Del Valle.
Vasco tied at 20 minutes into the final stage with another header from Vegetti.
But the reaction did not go beyond this goal, and the score remained at 1 x 1.
The match was balanced for most of the first half, with no significant goal chances.
The 1 x 0 came at 28 minutes into the game with a communication error between Ramos Mingo and Marcos Felipe.
The defender did not retreat the ball well, forcing the goalkeeper to clear the ball any way he could.
It fell to Murillo, who took advantage of Marcos Felipe being out of the goal to quickly finish and open the score.
After the break, Bahia grew in the match and threatened the opponent's goal several times.
But who shook the nets was América de Cali, scoring the second goal already in stoppage time with a header from Garcés.
