Rayan celebrates Vasco’s rout, unfazed by the downpour at São Januário | OneFootball

On a night when torrential rain almost brought football to a halt at São Januário, a young talent shone brighter than any storm. With two goals and a stellar performance, Rayan was the great maestro of Vasco’s 5-1 thrashing of Internacional, leading the team in a crucial victory that ended a five-game losing streak and brought relief to the Colina.

For Rayan, the adverse conditions, which included a one-and-a-half-hour stoppage at halftime, were not a problem. On the contrary, the forward showed that his passion for playing football is above any difficulty.

“We really needed this win. We were coming off five straight losses, so this victory was very important for us,” celebrated the striker as he left the pitch. “I really love playing. Whether it’s in the sun or in the rain… I love playing football. I’m very happy to have scored two more goals.”

The young player’s personality, who scored Vasco’s second goal in the blistering start and the third, right at the first minute of the second half to crush the rival’s hopes, electrified the fans. And the affection from the stands was promptly returned by him, in a declaration of mutual love.

“They (the fans) love me and I love them. I’m very happy for this affection, and I’ll always try to give back to them,” said the Vasco gem.

Rayan’s night was complete. In addition to the two goals, he was a constant threat to the Internacional defense, creating plays and showing the maturity of a veteran, even at such a young age. The victory not only lifts the weight off the squad’s shoulders, but also reaffirms Rayan’s status as one of Vasco’s main hopes and realities for the future.

With the win, Vasco reaches 45 points, consolidates its position in tenth place, and is practically free from any risk of relegation. The team now prepares to host Mirassol next Tuesday at São Januário, looking to continue their good run and finish the championship on a high note.
