Vasco leads 1-0, but the number 7 scores a great goal and now Galo waits for Flamengo or Corinthians to decide the match
Atlético is in the Copa do Brasil final and now awaits the winner of Flamengo and Corinthians. After all, this Saturday (19th), they drew 1-1 with Vasco, excluding São Januário, for the second leg of the semi-final of the competition. Cruz-Maltino opened the scoring with Vegetti, on a penalty in the first half. Hulk tied it in the final stretch of the match. When the Miners won the first leg 2-1, they advanced.
Despite the heavy rain that fell in Rio de Janeiro and all the tension that surrounds a match of this magnitude, Vasco and Atlético played a great match. Cruz-Maltino and Galo started in a “frank exchange”, with good plays. In the 15th minute Mateus Carvalho took a risk from outside the area and elicited the first “uhhh” from the Vasco fans. Atlético responds with Battaglia and Júnior Alonso who ask Léo Jardim for a great save.
I go in front
Three minutes later Paulinho invades the Vasco area and tries to score a great goal, but ends up against the Vasco defense. Vegetti almost opened the scoring for the hosts in the 29th minute when he took advantage of Paulo Henrique’s cross, turned and saw the ball pass close to the goal.
Vasco’s goal came six minutes later, again from a cross: Piton sent it into the area and Otávio touched it with his hand. Penalties, therefore. Vegetti took the shot and opened the scoring for Cruz-Maltino. From there until the final part of the first half it was practically all Vasco, who arrived with Pumita and Léo Pelé. As the lights went out, Lyanco took advantage of a free kick from Scarpa and came close to equalising.
Gallo tightens in the final, looking for the equalizer
The second phase began even more intense. With less than two minutes Paulinho and Vegetti wasted great opportunities. In the 14th minute, Puma headed a cross to Vegetti, who came close to scoring his and Vasco’s second goal of the match. Galo responds with Paulinho: in a great counterattack led by Arana, the attacker wastes a good opportunity.
In the final, Atlético-MG persisted and managed to equalize with a great goal from Hulk. In the 39th minute Scarpa gives a nice pass to Hulk, who creates a painting from outside the area.
