In Maracanã (with the Vasco command), the classic of the millions is 0-0. Mengo follows the command, but it can lose two positions
Flamengo and Vasco played a good and exciting game in Maracanã, this Saturday 19th, for the 5th Round of Brazilirão. They were great opportunities for both sides, especially in the first half. And with the black red by far superior in the final phase. In the end, losing many possibilities, Mengo did not puncture the block of Vasco, who kept 0-0 until the judge’s final whistle.
The draw kept Flamengo first in Brazilirão, with 11 points. But the team is in danger of losing the tip in Palmeiras (10) and Fluminense (9), who still play this Sunday. For Vasco, this from 0 to 0 brings the team to seven points, in the middle of the table.
Excellent first time
The game started Electric, with Vasco not intimidated by Flamengo and the teams looking for the goal. Before seven minutes, Gerson and Michael lost great opportunities for Flamengo and Paulo Henrique hit Rossi’s post. So, at the age of 15, Nuno Moreira played a great game on Leo Ortiz and kicked for the sensational defense of the Flamengo goalkeeper.
However, after 25 minutes, Vasco started playing more backwards, recording any counterattack, almost all left. Therefore, red-black becomes more active in the attack, always with the ball, but unnecessarily in the time of the finish, especially with Gerson, always an element of suppression and becoming the highlight of the initial phase.
Flamengo Superior, but Vasco holds the draw
Vasco returned far back in the second half, which made Flamengo easily dominate the actions. But the team went without offensive power. Not by coincidence, Filipe Luís put three new men in front (Chives, Plata and Pedro) and strictly left Pedro’s goal from Léo Jardim at 28 years old. Fla followed the margin, Vasco was closed and managed to support the white tie thanks to the good defenses of Léo Jardim in the submissions of Pedro (Twice) and Plata. Anyway, the goalkeeper was the best on the field
