This Monday, the 5th, Vasco received Flamengo, at Maracanã, but suffered an overwhelming defeat, by the score of 4 to 1, and sank into the relegation zone
This Monday, the 5th, the Basque received the Flamengo for the 9th round of Brazilian. Still in the first stage, Mengão was not aware of the rival and applied a 4 to 0. Thus, Cruzmaltino even cashed, but could not avoid another defeat, which further complicates the club’s situation.
Vasco started the first stage by putting pressure on Flamengo and proposing a game, but it didn’t help. At 13 minutes, Arrascaeta arranged as it was for Pulgar, who dominated and finished with mastery from outside the area. Shortly afterwards, at 16′, Mengão expanded with Gersonwho received an exquisite cross and, without marking, headed to the bottom of the goal.
Then, at 42′, Ayrton Lucas finished from inside the area, had a light touch of Pedro, and the ball landed in the back of the net. However, the left-back did not stop there and, after a great launch by Gerson, he made a great move and scored a beautiful goal, at 46′. Still in the interval, Vasco fans started to leave Maracanã. Interval! 4 to 0.
However, those who left before the second half did not see the Giant of the Hill score. After a few minutes of intensity, Jair was brought down in the area and the penalty was awarded with the help of VAR. The defensive midfielder took responsibility and went for the kick, which ended with the ball inside the goal, with no chances for Matheus Cunha.
Vasco finally managed to break through the rival’s defense, but did not have the same intensity to continue discounting the score. Thus, Flamengo had no difficulty managing the match, controlling possession of the ball and waiting for time to pass to consolidate another great victory.
