Thiago Mendes rues Vasco lapse in draw, demands focus: “Bitter point” | OneFootball

Vasco let it slip in the final minutes and drew with Remo on Saturday afternoon at Mangueirão, in Belém, in the Brazilian Championship. Defensive midfielder Thiago Mendes lamented the result and called for the team to be more focused in the upcoming matches.

“We had many clear chances to score and didn’t take them. That’s football—when you don’t score, you get punished. They had few chances to threaten our goal, but with the opportunity they had, they scored. We stopped playing, and that made things much harder because we let them grow into the game. It’s a bitter point to take home. We have to convert our chances; the opponent shows no mercy. It left a bitter taste. Now we have to work to pick up points,” the player told Premiere.

“Our team has to stay alert for the full 90 minutes. We give our opponents too many chances; we can’t make these mistakes. These mistakes can be fatal. It happened today and in other matches. We have to work so we don’t make these mistakes,” he added.

League standings

With the draw, Vasco went a third straight game without a win this season, the second in the Brasileirão. Renato Gaúcho’s side now sits 11th in the table with 13 points.
