Braga cruise after the break as Sasha misses late penalty | OneFootball

RB Bragantino beat Vasco da Gama 3-0 in the Brasileirão at Estádio São Januário to remain fifth.

On the stroke of half time, Rodriguinho swept a right-footed strike from range into the top right, putting Massa Bruta ahead.

After the restart, Isidro Pitta turned in Henry Mosquera's cross in the 60th minute. Substitute Fernando then drilled a third from the centre of the box (77.).

Tiago Volpi made six saves as Braga protected their lead, thwarting the Cruz-Maltino during their best spell either side of the interval.

Vasco's changes brought impetus down the left, with Cuiabano's crossing creating chances for Cláudio Spinelli, but finishing and Volpi's handling kept them out.

Late on, Eric Ramires won a penalty and VAR confirmed the spot kick (85.). Eduardo Sasha then lifted the effort just over the bar (87.).

Braga registered 21 attempts, with nine on target. Vasco had 59.4% possession but could not beat Volpi.

Next up, Vasco host Barracas in the Sudamericana. Braga face Carabobo in the same competition.
