A victory to end the fast. This was Vasco’s 2-0 victory over Sport, today (14), at the Ilha do Retiro, for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. The afternoon belonged to Argentine Germán Cano, author of the Basque goals, goals that, in addition to ending the gringo’s two-month “drought” – they had not brandished the nets for two months – put an end to the uncomfortable sequence nine games without a win. of the Maltese Cross.
It was the first victory for coach Ricardo Sá Pinto in the Brazilian Championship. The Portuguese, who made his debut in the defeat against Corinthians, on matchday 18, accumulated a draw, against Goiás, and the stumble against Palmeiras in the Portuguese duel against Abel Ferreira.
The result takes Vasco momentarily out of the relegation zone, reaching 15th place with 22 points.
The boy of the game: Germán Cano
The attacker, known for the firepower within the area, was finally disenchanted. And with a lot of style. Cano had not scored for two months and assured Vasco’s victory at the Ilha do Retiro with two shots from the net. The gringo’s second goal was confirmed by the video referee, after the assistant scored offside.
Who was wrong: Thiago Neves
The midfielder missed passes both in the offensive and defensive sectors. With that, it didn’t help with playmaking or defensive formation. There is great trust placed in the player, who still owes a lot to the Leão Pernambucano shirt. Thiago Neves was replaced in the 32nd minute by forward Hernane “Brocador”.
End of the fast
Cano reaches the ninth goal in Brasileirão. Before the two goals against Sport, the forward had hit the net there on September 13, when Vasco beat Botafogo 3-2, in the classic played at the Nilton Santos stadium.
Game timeline
In the 24th minute of the first half, Léo Gil advanced on the left and gave the pass to Cano, who, inside the area, which he knows well, played through the back of Maílson’s nets: 1-0.
At 6 minutes into the second half, Cano made the second, after the launch of Neto Borges. The play was even overruled by referee Heber Roberto Lopes, who signaled offside. But the video referee confirmed the goal.
