Lucas Moura put the game in his pocket and led San Paolo’s 3-0 victory over Vasco on Wednesday evening (16), in Campinas, in the 30th round of the Brazilian championship. He scored two goals, as well as creating great plays at Brinco de Ouro da Princesa. After the match, the midfielder underlined the importance of adding three points to the table.

“Very happy with the result and our performance, the team did well, after a difficult match with Cuiabá, we needed an answer. It was difficult to lose and wait so long for a match, but I am happy with the victory and both goals. Scoring a goal is always special, I scored one with a header, I was looking for that goal, it was a great goal from Rato, and I was happy to thank the group and the fans,” said the midfielder.

In the 49th second of the second half, Lucas Moura scored San Paolo’s second goal after an excellent run and a powerful shot with no defense options. Then, in the 21st minute, when the opponent no longer seemed to react, the midfielder scored again, but with a header from a corner kick by Wellington Rato.

Hosting the match in Campinas, São Paulo took the match to the Guarani stadium due to renovations on the Morumbis pitch.

The fight for the Libertadores remains alive on the side of Sao Paulo. The triumph brought the team within one point of fourth-placed Flamengo, who play against Fluminense at the Maracanã on Thursday.
