Vasco was saved from Flamengo by the excellent performance of goalkeeper Léo Jardim


Flamengo showed no mercy to Vasco this Wednesday (21). Despite the ‘slim’ 1-0 victory, the Most Beloved dominated the match and could have delivered a historic thrashing to their rival. However, the Cruzmaltino was saved by goalkeeper Léo Jardim.

In total, Flamengo had 32 shots, while Vasco only managed one. The numbers, of course, further highlight and expose the supremacy of the Most Beloved over their rival in recent years.

Did Rossi make any saves against Vasco?

Rossi, who made his season debut this Wednesday (21), didn’t even get his uniform dirty. That’s because the goalkeeper didn’t have to make a single save during the 90 minutes of the derby. Léo Jardim, on the other hand, made ten saves and prevented a historic thrashing.

Additionally, it’s important to highlight that Flamengo had 12 corner kicks compared to Vasco’s zero in Wednesday’s match (21). Finally, the Rubro-Negro finished the match with 61% possession, not allowing their rival to get past midfield.
