The Planet of Football reported that a decision by Judge Suely Lopes Magalhães suspended the injunction that required the Fla-Flu Consortium to release Maracanã for Vasco vs. Boca Juniors, for the semifinal of the South American Cup. According to the publication, the legal dispute continued. The judge reportedly understood that Marco Antônio Ibrahim could not alone review the decision of the rapporteur Alexandre de Carvalho Mesquita and that the appeal should be analyzed by the rapporteur himself or by a panel. She also reportedly pointed out the risk of having three rival fan bases in the same area, as Flamengo vs. Botafogo, for basketball, would be held that evening at Maracanãzinho. According to the report, Suely cited a report from BEPE that deemed Nilton Santos suitable to host the match and stated that the police's preference for Maracanã did not make its use indispensable for safety. The decision, the publication added, did not determine whether Vasco had the right to the stadium nor whether the consortium's refusal was legitimate. The writ of security would be forwarded to rapporteur Joaquim Domingos de Almeida Neto, and the decision would be submitted to the Special Body of TJ-RJ. The publication attributed the information to the newspaper O Globo. #Maracanã #Vasco #Justiça (translated)

The Planeta do Futebol profile reported that BEPE considered São Januário inadequate to host Vasco x Boca Juniors, citing difficulties in separating the fans, controlling the visitors, and organizing access. According to the profile, the battalion pointed to Maracanã as the most suitable option. Vasco needed to indicate the stadium to Conmebol by Saturday. The Public Ministry of Rio recommended the release of Maracanã and suggested to Governor Ricardo Couto an intervention to make the match possible, the profile wrote. The consultation of the Fla-Flu Consortium with BEPE regarding Nilton Santos concluded that the stadium was suitable, although the battalion maintained a preference for Maracanã. The profile emphasized that Vasco had not made this inquiry. São Januário received positive opinions from the Fire Department and the City Hall, but its chances of being released were small, according to the publication. The profile added that Pedrinho would continue trying to obtain Maracanã through the Justice system, with São Januário as a backup plan. Nilton Santos was the plan C: Vasco had not yet officially approached Botafogo, although Pedrinho had already sought information about the stadium. #Vasco #BocaJuniors #Maracanã (translated)
