Vasco seeks tie against Boavista, but is eliminated in Carioca – 04/18/2021

O Basque beat Flamengo 3-1 last Thursday, but did not take advantage of the good moment and only tied today (18) by 2 to 2 with Boavista. The result eliminates the team from the fight for the last spot in the semifinal of the From Rio, which will feature Flamengo, Fluminense, Portuguesa and Volta Redonda. With two goals from Marquinhos, the hosts opened the scoring at the Estádio Elcyr Resende, but the Vasco players sought equality with Cano and Gabriel Pec.

Marcelo Cabo’s team tried to triumph more on the basis of delivery than on technique and lack of caprice in the final pass. Against a team that bet on defense, but left spaces, the team was not precise when defining the plays, although it fought until the last minute. In the last round, the vascaínos face Resende, still without a date and place confirmed by the Federation of Soccer of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Ferj)

Vasco complains of penalty in Cano

Vasco could have reached the victory and, consequently, continue with chances of classification if the referee had signaled a foul inside the area in German Cano in the first half. The Cruzmaltino players complained a lot about the move after the game, even admitting that individual errors were decisive for the result.

Marquinhos makes defense difficult

Author of two goals in the match, Marquinhos also hit Vanderlei’s crossbar and was the most dangerous player of the team of the Region of the Lakes. The attacker was the engine that helped in the pull of the counterattacks and gave work to the Vasco defender.

Carlinhos is not doing well

Appointed at the last minute to enter Marquinhos Gabriel’s place, Carlinhos did not respond and was an erased figure in the frame of plays. Without objectivity and many passing passes, the player made the wrong choices and did little to help his team. He was replaced by Lucas Figueiredo.

Vasco bets on perspiration

With a lot of disposition and delivery, Vasco lost and had to unfold to overcome adversity. When they tried to penetrate a lot inside, the team had difficulties, but the pair formed by Gabriel Pec and Zeca, especially on the left side, was a good cross-Maltese weapon. The team still showed some difficulties in the creation, however the will to win was a brand that remained and that animates the Vasco.

Boavista closes and comes out good

The home team maintained a cautious stance, but they quickly came out on the counterattack when they recovered the ball. The team accelerated the game on the back of the vascaína defense and did well in vacillations of the visitors. With good overtaking, the lateral always appeared as a good option on the left side.

Vanderlei debuts with Vasco shirt

One of Vasco’s main signings for 2021, goalkeeper Vanderlei wore the club’s shirt for the first time. Without having a lot of work throughout the game, he did not appear in the photo on the penalty spot, but there was no interference in the result. In the difficult ball that came, he made a good save in a kick from Wisney.

Chronology

At 10 minutes of the first half, Marquinhos hit a penalty and opened the scoring for Boavista. At 20, the referee annulled Gabriel Pec’s goal. At 27, Marquinhos expanded. At 45 minutes, Cano took advantage of Léo Matos’ pass to decrease. At 4 minutes of the second half, Gabriel Pec drew.

Embezzlement at the last minute

One of Vasco’s highlights at the beginning of the season, midfielder Marquinhos Gabriel felt a discomfort in the warm-up and was removed from the match. He was replaced by Carlinhos.
