Without some headlines infected by Covid-19, Vasco did not have the maximum strength this afternoon (22), but managed to close and contain the momentum of São Paulo in Morumbi. Thus, the match of the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship ended in a 1-1 draw, with goals from Germán Cano and Luciano. The result stops the sequence of six consecutive victories for the Tricolor until this Sunday.
With the result, São Paulo reaches 37 points and loses the opportunity to stay with the leaders. Even so, it remains in third place and with three pending matches of the first round, which will begin to be paid from Wednesday (25). Vasco reaches 24 points, in 16th place – as Botafogo and Atlético-GO still play, they can finish the round in the relegation zone.
Eliminated from Libertadores, São Paulo will play one of its last matches at Brasileirão next Wednesday. The club will face Ceará, at 7.15pm, in Castelão, in a match valid for matchday 16. El Gigante del Cerro goes to Argentina for the knockout stages of the South American, against Defense and Justice. The first leg is on Thursday (26), at 9:30 p.m.
The young goalkeeper of Vasco stands out
Raising the goal of Vasco when Fernando Miguel is out with Covid-19, Lucão responded well and stood out. The 19-year-old goalkeeper made good saves, especially in the second half, like one with the foot that Brenner stopped, and kept his team in the game. Confidence did not wane even after she needed help, early in the final stage, claiming malaise and dizziness.
The worst: Juanfran and Jadson
At São Paulo, right-back Juanfran had too late to forget. Slow and not very active in the attack, the Spaniard was scolded by Daniel Alves for not showing up for the game before going to rest. Diniz chose Tchê Tchê because Vasco accelerated the counterattacks. On the Rio side of the story, Jadson was on the bad side. The defender fell asleep behind, it took a long time to clear a ball and delivered the tie to the home team. At that moment, the Maltese controlled the rival and controlled the game well.
São Paulo faces its own slowness
It is true that Vasco set up a wall to contain São Paulo in Morumbi, but the team that Diniz coached was not on its best afternoons. He was slow and easy prey in the first half, and improved – not enough to win – with the innings of Tchê Tchê and Vitor Bueno in the intermission. Dani Alves and Gabriel Sara, in a match without much brilliance, complicated the creation of the paulistas.
Vasco defends and explores the counterattack
Without Fernando Miguel, Werley, Talles Magno, Benítez, Tiago Reis, Ulisses, Fellipe Bastos, Carlinhos and Ribamar, who tested positive for Covid-19, and Léo Matos, sanctioned, Vasco’s team did very well what Sá Pinto this planned Sunday. He closed behind, with three defenses and a compact midfield, and went on the counterattack. It took a lot of danger in speed because the opponent was very exposed in the offensive creation.
SPFC pays tribute to Black Awareness Day
São Paulo entered the field today with its players wearing jerseys in tribute to the Black Awareness Day, which was celebrated last Friday (20). The uniforms were named after personalities who marked and mark the anti-racist struggle, such as Elza Soares, Grande Otelo, Pixinguinha, Machado de Assis and Zumbi dos Palmares.
Game timeline
Vasco defended and began the counterattack until in a quick exit he managed to open the scoring. Gustavo Torres gave a long pass to Germán Cano, who came face to face with Volpi and submitted to a goal in the 18th minute. With difficulty breaking the Basque block, São Paulo found the tie when he pressed. Sara took advantage of Jadson’s nap and the ball was clean for Luciano. The forward struck first, at 33 minutes, and called.
