Aside from the weather issues, the home team sought to impose pressure on the red team's ball out, occupying the red and white defensive field. Vasco began the duel attacking the right side of the defense, but without success. Clube do Povo, on the other hand, sought to space the field, as a way to activate the full-backs Renê and Braian Aguirre, as well as Wesley and Bruno Tabata.
