Vasco da Gama’s ‘curse’ over rivals: Incredible stat lifts fans | OneFootball

The victory of Vasco da Gama over Fluminense by 2-0, marking the debut of the new third jersey, reinforced an impressive taboo. The club hasn't lost a debut match of its alternative uniform for 14 years. The third jersey has become a true "talisman" for the team, especially in important games.

Last defeat in a debut was in 2010

The unbeaten streak is long. The last time the Giant was defeated in a debut match of the third uniform was in 2010, against Americano, in the Campeonato Carioca. Since then, the club has taken the field 12 times with a new alternative kit and has never been beaten.

From 2011 onwards, the sequence is 10 wins and only 2 draws, including Monday's victory against Fluminense. The positive record includes memorable victories, such as the 4-2 over the same Fluminense in 2023 and the 4-1 over Náutico in 2022.
