This Wednesday, Vasco drew 1-1 with Coritiba in the ninth round of the Brasileirão at Couto Pereira. Cruzmaltino, who opened the scoring in the first half, conceded the equalizer in the 45th minute of the second half.

In an interview with Premiere, Colombian Marino Hinestroza, who made his first start for the club, admitted that the team drew a match it should have won.

“We dropped deeper”

“First of all, I’m very happy to have made my first start. On the goal play, I think we lacked a little more cohesion. But I think they pushed much further forward in the second half, and we dropped a little deeper. I think that hurt us, and unfortunately we drew a match we should have won,” the Colombian said.

Asked about the team’s progress and the late equalizer conceded at the end of the match, Marino admitted that Vasco slowed down in the second half.

“It was very good because we took the lead very early, and that gave us a bit of confidence to play more. In the second half, we dropped our intensity a little, sat too deep, and that hurt us. We could have managed the game better and come away with the three points,” he added.
