Standout star swings momentum for Vasco da Gama at Zeiro | OneFootball

Brenner put Vasco da Gama in front in the 86th minute with a left-footed strike. His intervention came in a 3-3 draw against Cruzeiro.

Introduced after the hour, the forward gave Vasco a focal point, competing in the air and linking with José Luis Rodríguez. He then latched onto Rodríguez's pass and drilled low from outside the box (86.).

His movement between Zeiro's centre-backs opened the pocket repeatedly, allowing Cruz-Maltino to play higher and force hurried clearances. That late blind-side run created the angle for the finish that briefly had the visitors ahead.

He ended with one attempt and one goal, plus four possessions won and two aerials won, underlining his impact in duels. He also completed seven of eight passes and drew two fouls in a sharp 28-minute cameo.

Cruz-Maltino host Fluminense next. Raposa visit Athletico Paranaense.
