- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Vasco da Gama secured a place in the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana with a 4-1 comeback victory against Olimpia on Thursday at the Defensores del Chaco stadium in Paraguay. This marks the first time the club has reached the quarterfinals of the tournament since 2007. Following a 0-0 draw in the first leg at São Januário, Olimpia initially took the lead in the 15th minute with a goal from Esteban Mattus. Vasco responded with goals from Thiago Mendes and David in the first half, followed by strikes from Adson and Claudio Spinelli in the second half.
Coach Pedro Emanuel expressed relief and satisfaction following the match, noting that the team needed a strong offensive performance after failing to score in four of their last five games. He praised the team's composure and ability to adapt their transition play. However, the victory comes amid a difficult domestic run. Vasco currently sits in 19th place in the Brasileirão with 22 points and is scheduled to face league leaders Palmeiras on Sunday, August 23.
In the quarterfinals, Vasco will face the winner of the series between River Plate and Independiente Santa Fe. The match between those two teams was delayed due to a severe earthquake in Colombia. Additionally, reports indicate that Vasco reinforcements Santiago Sosa and Facundo Colidio were unable to play in the series against Olimpia due to registration paperwork issues with the AFA.
While center-leaning coverage emphasizes the emotional relief of the coach and the historical significance of the qualification, center-right coverage focuses more on the tactical details of the match and the specific player movements and registration hurdles.
