📹 Rayan shines as Vasco beat Fluminense for third straight win | OneFootball

At Maracanã, Vasco defeated Fluminense 2-0 on Monday (20th), in the 29th round of the Brasileirão.

The word of the classic was "efficiency".

After all, the cross-maltese team, especially in the first half, did not dominate the match broadly.

The Tricolor even had a great chance with Cano in the first play, but Léo Jardim made a great save.

Fluminense even pressured the opponent's ball exit, but lacked accuracy.

At the end of the first half, Rayan's "star" appeared.

Vasco's gem took a shot from outside the area, the ball deflected off Freytes and left Fábio with no chance of defense.

After the break, the scenario was similar. That is, the Tricolor das Laranjeiras even rehearsed a small pressure, but without firepower.

And then, Rayan appeared again, shooting from outside the area, and Fábio fumbled the ball.

The experienced goalkeeper managed to recover in the play, but Nuno Moreira grabbed the rebound and extended the lead.

With the score settled, Vasco's fans even shouted "olé" with each pass exchange.

💪 End of the taboo

Vasco had not beaten Fluminense at Maracanã since 2018. In 2024, the Cruz-Maltino defeated their rival, but at Nilton Santos.

The Gigante da Colina had not yet won at the "Greatest in the World" in 2025, where they accumulated two draws and three losses.
