Vasco’s equalizer came at 28, when Payet found Galdames free in the area. The Chilean submitted twice to beat Gatito Fernández.
In the second half, Vasco needed less than a minute to turn the game around, after a move on the left that ended with Lucas Piton finishing. The partial victory turned into a rout with two goals from Argentine Pablo Vegetti, the first from a penalty kick.
