Vasco faces Athletico this Sunday, at 4pm, at the Ligga Arena with Hugo Moura, a former player from the club from Paraná. Listed by interim coach Rafael Paiva, the midfielder reached the simple goal of four matches in which he was involved, which forces the Vasco team to pay around 2 million euros for the permanent acquisition of the player.

Athletico’s board notified Vasco about the delay, but has not yet received a response regarding payment. The deal was closed last month – the Vasco fans announced Hugo Moura on April 18th.
