Palmeiras end hoodoos against Vasco, check out the stats | OneFootball

The 2-1 defeat of Palmeiras against Vasco on Thursday night (12th) marked the end of an 11-year streak for Verdão without losing to the club from Rio.

Overall, Palmeiras had not lost to Vasco since November 2015, in a streak that lasted ten years.

Vasco's last victory had occurred in 2015, at Allianz Parque, during the second round of that year's Brazilian Championship. Since then, there had been 14 matches without a win for the Rio team against Verdão, with ten victories for Palmeiras and four draws – the last five matches had all ended with wins for the green-and-white side.

At São Januário, the venue for Thursday's match, the streak was even longer. Vasco's last victory at the stadium against Palmeiras had happened in 2012, by 3-1.

Since then, there had been four matches at the venue, all won by Palmeiras – in 2015, 2018, 2019, and 2020. The 2018 victory, in particular, was notable for securing Verdão the Brazilian Championship title that season.

Thursday's match marked Palmeiras' return to Estádio São Januário after six seasons. The last time the club played there was in November 2020, in a match that marked Abel Ferreira's debut in the Brasileirão for the club. On that occasion, the São Paulo team won 1-0, in a game played without spectators due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The match also marked the reunion of Abel Ferreira and Renato Gaúcho. In total, the coaches have faced each other 11 times, including Thursday's duel. The Palmeiras coach holds the advantage in the head-to-head record even with the 2-1 defeat, with six victories, as well as two draws and three losses.
