The back end of the Wednesday night Florida Cup double-header at Bright House Networks Stadium featured Brazilian Serie A clubs Vasco da Gama and Corinthians squaring off in semi-final match No. 1. With a large supporting contingent in the stands to cheer on the Brazilian giants, Corinthians were able to secure their place in the FC Playoff Final with a 2-1 win.
Both sides came out of the gates firing to begin the match, with Corinthians drawing the better punches. Guilherme Camacho put his side ahead in the 20th minute, finding space in the middle of the field to easily slide past the defense and slip a shot past goalkeeper Martín Silva to make it a 1-0 game.
