Chiqui Tapia led Barracas between 2000 and 2020, before being replaced by his son Matías.
He was still Barracas president when he took over the AFA in March 2017.
They were better, but...
Vasco’s alternate side showed superiority from the first half against a technically inferior opponent.
Barracas threatened Fuzzato’s goal only once before the break.
Spinelli and Riquelme Avellar had Vasco’s best chances.
The academy product showed personality in his big chance.
Back after a loan spell, JP also stood out. Matheus França, out of favor with the fans, tried to take center stage.
Barracas grow into the game, chances and a red card
The Argentine side came back better for the second half.
They managed to keep more of the ball and showed quality in their passing.
Tobio, who previously played for Palmeiras, saw Hugo Moura deny a big scoring chance.
The introductions of Adson and Hinestroza gave Vasco fresh legs.
Vasco then had a one-man advantage after Puig was sent off for a foul on Nuno Moreira.
Vasco failed to make the most of the numerical advantage.
They had only one good chance through Adson.
