Vasco went to Goiânia with the expectation of winning the bluff of the competition, but ended up leaving the Estádio da Serrinha, last Sunday, relieved that he had not lost. The 1 to 1 was in the gain, as Portuguese coach Ricardo Sá Pinto said, mainly due to the very poor performance in the second half. However, there are good things like encouragement. Shamans Léo Matos and Léo Gil represent an undeniable technical gain for the team.

At no point in the duel did Vasco stay, but in the first minutes it looked like he was going to win easily. First, because he scored quickly, at 18, when Léo Matos lived up to his reputation for a good header. The goal also confirmed the quality of Léo Gil in the dead ball with an accurate corner kick.
The advantage on the scoreboard, added to a Goiás that barely threatened, made Vasco think of an easy victory, but the team began to show signs of physical wear in the first half and made no mistakes. Andrey, who arrives in an impressive technical clash, played poorly and almost handed over the gold. Luckily for him, Keko didn’t take advantage.
At that point, he only yielded to Goiás, but Vasco went to rest with an advantage. It should be noted, however, that, apart from Andrey, Henrique, Vinícius and Talles, they produced little. The latter, by the way, left after suffering a trauma in the basin and became a doubt for the decisive duel with Caracas, next Wednesday, in Venezuela, for the South American.

Benítez does not work and Vasco loses the middle without Léo Gil
The 15-minute break was not enough to recover the worn out Vasco. Goiás returned with all the gas, and Sá Pinto was already preparing three stir-fries to oxygenate his equipment. There was no time: at 11, the draw arrived to illustrate the bad moment that Andrey lived. With no luck, the midfielder deflected Vinícius’ pass and left Fernandão in good shape to finish off. On the rebound, Shaylon scored.
Sá Pinto made the changes he wanted to give the team rest with his sights set on the duel with Caracas. Henrique, Léo Gil and Carlinhos gave way to Neto Borges, Fellipe Bastos and Benítez. It didn’t work.
Neto even made some entries, but did not support with quality. Bastos and Benítez were discreet, and the departure of Léo Gil, the team’s organizer and owner of the best pass in the sector, caused Vasco to lose midfield.
Goiás began to take over, and the Basque forwards did not receive any balls. Two even came to Ribamar, but he did not take advantage. First he made a very strong cross, then he finished away from Tadeu’s goal.
Physically weakened and lacking the confidence to develop technically and tactically, Vasco became easy prey, but Goiás stopped at the post and in defense of Fernando Miguel. As I said, Sá Pinto, it was profit. He was trapped throughout the stage, finished only three times (against 10 of his rival) and did not create anything interesting.
The encouragement was really the entry of Léo Matos not only because of the goal, but also because he was the player who gave the most passes (45) in the game. It is true that he was also the holder of the record for errors in item (15), but something understandable for someone newcomer.
The 34-year-old gave Vasco more experience and proved to be physically fine, holding out for 90 minutes. With Pikachu in a miserable season and Cayo Tenório swinging and now eliminated by Covid-19, Matos fits like a glove. Ricardo Sá Pinto has to recover the good football of important players such as Andrey and Vinícius so that the reinforcements put all their talent at the service of the team.
