Vasco player ratings: Colidio and Ramon Rique stand out in 1-0 over Vitória | OneFootball

Vasco beat Vitória 1-0 in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-final at São Januário. According to Globo.com, Colidio and Ramon Rique were the standout performers.

Vasco played most of the night with 10 after Barros was sent off inside 20 minutes following a VAR review for handball as the last man. Coach Pedro Emanuel reacted on 33 minutes, replacing Spinelli with Paulo Henrique to keep pace and width on the counter.

Colidio led the line superbly, threatening with an early header and a long-range effort, then linking cleverly from Puma Rodríguez’s deliveries. He dazzled with a slaloming run that ended with a shot against the post, and the crowd chanted his name when he was substituted.

Rique set the tone by winning the ball and releasing attacks, threading passes into space and unleashing a fine strike late in the first half. Early in the second period he sent Paulo Henrique through on a clear break, but the finish was tame and wide.

Andrés Gómez eventually settled it with a crisp left-foot finish after another surging run, moments after spurning a one-on-one from Thiago Mendes’s pass. At the other end, Léo Jardim made two big saves late on, with Carlos Cuesta and Robert Renan strong in duels and in the air, while Puma’s crossing added threat down the right.
