Maycon: Corinthians boxed in by Vasco, urges calm for return leg | OneFootball

The first match of the Copa do Brasil final ended without a winner. Corinthians played poorly, failing to capitalize on the strength of their fans at the Neo Química Arena and drew 0-0 with Vasco on Wednesday night. Midfielder Maycon believes the team was boxed in by the Cruzmaltino, but urged for a “calm head.”

“I think our team prepared for a certain type of game and couldn't implement it. Vasco's team came with a strategy that succeeded today, but our team has a very good ability to go to Rio de Janeiro and win this title,” the player said in an interview with TV Globo.

“We have to keep a calm head. It's not the result we wanted at home, we wanted to take an advantage, but our team is also strong. We know we can go there and achieve a great result,” he added.

Match Situation

The result keeps everything open for the second leg of the decision. The winner of the return match will take the Copa do Brasil title. If the tie persists on aggregate, the decision will be made in penalties.

The decisive match is scheduled for this Sunday. The ball will roll from 6 PM (Brasília time) on the Maracanã field in Rio de Janeiro.
