In 2000 Vasco played the final of the Copa João Havelange

In 2000 Vasco played the final of the Copa João Havelange, equivalent to the Brazilian Championship, against São Caetano. The game was interrupted because the fence of the São Januário stadium gave way. The match was rescheduled for early 2001 at the Maracanã and Eurico Miranda, a strong man at the club and outraged by Globo's coverage of the case, decided to stamp the SBT brand on the uniform of Vasco's players, who were champions. Still in 2000, in the Mercosur Cup, Vasco played one of the biggest upsets in the history of Brazilian football: after losing 3-0 to Palmeiras, Cruzmaltino turned the game to 4-3. The game was in São Paulo.
