Decisive victory: Carpini highlights the advantage of the sending off and the team’s confidence


Carpini underlines the importance of the sending off for Vitória’s triumph




Vitória beat Criciúma 1-0, taking a significant step towards salvation. The match, played at Heriberto Hulse, had a crucial point: the expulsion of Claudinho, from Criciúma, in the first half.

With one player more, Vitória took advantage of the opportunity and Janderson scored the winning goal.

Despite their numerical advantage, Vitória failed to create many chances. Coach Thiago Carpini made a major change by replacing Gustavo Mosquito with Janderson at halftime, who ended up deciding the match with a header.

Carpini commented on the difficulty of the match, praising Criciúma’s organization and underlining that, until the expulsion, the match was balanced.

After the sending off, Vitória had more control and managed to take advantage of one of the few opportunities available.

With the victory, Rubro-Negro reaches 41 points and moves four points away from the relegation zone. Carpini also highlighted that the team’s morale is good, with only one defeat in the last five matches.

Vitória’s next match will be against Botafogo, Saturday (23rd), at 7.30pm (Brasilia time), at the Nilton Santos stadium. Criciúma, however, will face Fluminense on Tuesday (26th), at 5pm (Brasilia time), at the Maracanã Stadium.
