Vasco secured the Brazilian Women's Serie A2 title on 20th September at São Januário in Rio de Janeiro, drawing the biggest crowd at a national women's competition this year — 8,004 spectators. The girls from the Hill began the match with a two-goal lead after winning the first leg 3-1 in Minas Gerais. Despite losing the return leg 2-1 to Minas Gerais, Vasco won the championship by a 4-3 aggregate score.
It was their only loss in the competition, after an unbeaten campaign up to that point. Vasco needed to reduce the deficit, and they opened the scoring after a mistake by Vasco's goalkeeper, who passed to Bruna Marques inside the box and she scored in the 4th minute. Itabirito kept creating chances to extend their lead, however Vasco managed to equalize just before halftime with a goal from Luana Rodrigues. The final was decided by penalties, with Vasco emerging victorious.
