Or Basque breathe. With almost two thousand people in São Januário, the home team overcame Goiás, hit the second straight victory and opened the 27th round, shortening the distance to the G4 of the B Series of the Brazilian Championship. Much remains, but dreaming is allowed. Morato and Gabriel Pec scored 2-0.
SCARE ON ONE SIDE, CHANCES ON THE OTHER
The first clearest opportunity of the game came from the visiting team. On minute six, Alef Manga crossed and Apodi, with his head, hit the crossbar. But the domain belonged to the owner of the house. Morato had already tried with his head, Ricardo Graça also created danger and, with a frontal kick, Marquinhos Gabriel took paint off Tadeu’s right post. Bruno Gomes also had a chance.
NOW YES!
Vasco’s dominance turned into a goal in the 29th minute, when Marquinhos Gabriel launched Riquelme who crossed with sugar for Morato to head. Fans’ party present. The two teams had created other plays until the end of the first half, but the score continued 1-0.
AGAIN VASCO
The score was actually changed at the start of the second half. At three minutes, Nene crossed and Gabriel Pec tested for the net. The 2-0 gave Cruz-Maltino tranquility, and Esmeraldino started to have more possession, but could not turn it into effective chances.
GREEN CHANCES
Goiás’ goal seemed drawn in the 30’s, when, after a cross from the right, Aleg Manga kicked in with the first kick. Vanderlei made the defense. Seven minutes later, the cross was from the left, and Nicolas headed with danger but out. And nothing more relevant was seen. Second victory in a row for the team from São Januário, which faces Confiança, next Sunday.
