Vasco closed a rapid that had lasted seven games, beat Santos 1-0 in the afternoon today (20), with a goal from Carlinhos, and was closer to leaving the relegation zone of the Brazilian Championship. The Paulistas, in turn, missed the opportunity to approach the G-4.
This was only Cruz-maltino’s fourth victory at São Januário in the competition. Until this round, the team had the fourth worst performance as a main.
In the next round, the last one before the Reveillon, Vasco will face Athletico Paranaense at the Arena da Baixada (PR). Santos receives Ceará in Vila Belmiro (SP).
Vasco opens the score and then holds
Vasco had the initiative of the game at the beginning of the match, but began to defend himself after scoring the goal. In the second half, this situation escalated, with Santos pressing and Cruzmaltino trying to counterattack. With much pain, the team of coach Ricardo Sá Pinto managed to hold on.
Fernando Miguel “wall”
The experienced goalkeeper closed the goal and made two great saves, helping Vasco. One in the first and one in the second half.
Pituca has initiative
In a team punished for injuries, personal problems and physical exhaustion, Diego Pituca was saved. The initiative was left to the midfielder, who was the best player in Santos’ scoring system. He still tried to propel the ball forward, but to no avail.
Kaio Jorge eliminated
Following the two goals scored in the classification over Gremio por Libertadores, Kaio Jorge had a poor performance. The Santos forward suffered from the lack of integration of the offensive sector, greatly modified by the absence of Marinho and Soteldo in the first half, and had no opportunity to score.
Juninho gives the Basque another dynamic
Much sought after by the fans, young midfielder Juninho was finally selected as a starter, and he responded. Skillful, he gave the team another dynamic and almost scored a great goal in the first half.
Carlinhos scores the first goal for Vasco
Vasco opened the scoring 8 minutes into the first half, when Léo Matos went to the baseline and made a beautiful cross for Carlinhos, who came “high” to put the net. It was the midfielder’s first goal for the club.
Marina “auxiliary”
On the bench early in the game, Marinho was almost a “technical assistant” to Cuca at the edge of the field. During the stop to hydrate, the attacker guided his teammates and gave them instructions.
Cuca argues with referee
In the first half, coach Cuca, from Santos, spoke with referee Ricardo Marques Ribeiro. Finger raised, the “whistle” asked the coach for “more respect.”
Benitez banned
Midfielder Martín Benítez was suspended from the game due to muscle pain. His assignment contract will end on the 31st and Vasco has not yet reached a purchase agreement with Independiente (ARG).
