or Vasco live a drama. Today (27) he preceded Sampaio Corrêa, but took the turn, at the end of the game, and lost by 3 to 2, in São Januário, for the penultimate round of the B series. The result left access to the Brasileirão elite, who seemed to be on the way, threatened. Two goals were scored in injury time.
The match was full of emotion. Anderson Conceição scored early for Vasco. But Pará equalized in the first half. In the last phase Gabriel Poveda gave Sampaio Corrêa the lead and the game went on like this until recovery, when Andrey equalized again. Just two minutes later, Joécio scored 3 to 2 for Bolivia Querida.
The scenario for access depends on Ituano and Londrina. If the Paraná team wins tomorrow (28), they can still catch Vasco if they beat Sampaio Corrêa in the final and take away the good goal difference. If Ituano wins the Shark, the San Paolo team will play a direct confrontation with Vasco in the last round, in Itu (SP), where the winner takes the place.
Vasco lost for the first time at home this Serie B and has 59 points. Sport can also reach Vasco in the standings.
The victory nevertheless kept Sampaio Corrêa fighting. With 55 points, if Maranhão’s team beat Londrina in the last round and Bahia no longer adds any points, the place for the elite will be defined in the goal difference.
It went well: Gabriel Poveda scores again
Serie B top scorer, Gabriel Poveda used the only real chance he had to give Sampaio Corrêa the lead in the second half.
It went badly: Palacios is very wrong and starts at half-time
Palacios was chosen by Jorginho to start as a starter in midfield. The coach designed Yuri with the aim of improving ball production and creating opportunities for the team. But what happened on the pitch was exactly the opposite. The Chilean missed many passes and still gave solidity to the center of the field, overloading Andrey. Realizing the flaw, Jorginho switched at half-time and put on Yuri.
encouragement and tension
Coach Jorginho’s team took to the field amid shouts of encouragement and, above all, the request for “Let’s go up, Vasco”. The mood of the start of the match was mixed with the celebration of the goal, which took place in the early hours of the morning.
The last few minutes have been full of tension. On the pitch the team seemed lacking in creativity and legs to reach the opponent’s goal. In the stands, a mixture of boos and encouragement.
political struggle
Shortly after the whistle that decreed the break, the electoral atmosphere appeared in the stands. While some screamed for Lula, others showed supporters of Bolsonaro. Some then shot corners in favor of the team, to stifle the “fight”.
whistles at Batman
After Sampaio Corrêa’s second goal, every time goalkeeper Thiago Rodrigues took the ball, he heard boos and loud criticism from the stands. Jersey 1, at one point in Serie B, became popular with the public and he earned the nickname of Batman, for playing in a protective mask.
Vasco’s game: offensive intensity, spaces behind
Vasco was an intense team. From the very first minutes he ran a lot, he went on the attack, he tried to finish his plays quickly. After three minutes, he scored the first goal of the match with Anderson Conceição. But to the same extent that he sought the attack, the hosts left some space between the midfield and the defense. So much so that Sampaio Corrêa created his opportunities there, especially in shots from outside the area.
The equalizer came early on. Palacios, starting party by choice of Jorginho, was one of those responsible for the creation of the plays, but he missed many passes, leaving the offensive actions anchored exclusively to the moves of Nenê and Figueiredo. In the second half Vasco is all heart. After the round, ‘no abafa’ sought a draw in injury time. But he ended up taking the third.
Sampaio Corrêa’s match: always dangerous and looking for the finish line
Sampaio Corrêa didn’t have much to lose in São Januário. With remote chances of attempting last place in Serie A, but already secured in Serie B in 2023 with leftovers, Bolivia Querida had no reason to fear when he came out behind. With patience, he found space to create opportunities and was always dangerous. After Pará’s goal, also in the first half, the top scorer Gabriel Poveda became more active and created worrying imbalances in Vasco’s defense. So much so that the scorer overturned the game in the second half and suffered a draw in the final, but his team scored another.
sample visit
Felipe, the Maestro and the defender Dedé were in São Januário and even went to a part of the lawn (behind the goal) before the ball rolled. Together they won the 2011 Copa do Brasil.
The former number 6 is the son of Vasco and one of the club’s idols, where he has won several titles.
