Decisive figure rescues Remo against Vasco da Gama | OneFootball

Marllon levelled it in the 84th minute with a glancing header, earning Remo a 1-1 draw with Vasco da Gama.

He timed his run to meet Diego Hernández's driven cross from a set piece, guiding the ball into the bottom corner to flip the momentum towards the hosts.

From there, the defender shut the door on the Cruz-Maltino. He finished with eight clearances, three blocks and three aerials won, repeatedly winning first contact and tidying up second balls as pressure mounted late on.

Composed in possession for the Leão Azul, he also completed 24 of 31 passes and made two interceptions, stepping in to break up transitions before restarting attacks with simple, assured distribution.

Because the Gigante da Colina conceded territory at dead balls and struggled to match his aerial strength, his movement and timing on deliveries became the game's hinge, while his penalty box positioning kept dangerous cut-backs from turning into chances.

Leão Azul visit RB Bragantino next in the league. The Cruz-Maltino host Audax in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana.
