Vasco ended up defeated by Flamengo 1-0 this Wednesday, at Maracanã, in the Campeonato Carioca. The Cruzmaltino did not perform well and ended up suffering the setback after being left with one less player at the beginning of the second half. The team’s standout with important saves, Léo Jardim, admitted the team’s poor performance.
“It wasn’t the game we expected to play. I still think it’s too early to see what the season will be like. There’s a lot ahead. Today’s game is a warning for what needs to improve. It’s not the end of the world. I think we didn’t do well even in the first half. In the second, up until the sending off, I think we came back well. Then it was almost attack versus defense,” he told SporTV.
With the defeat, Vasco remained with four points, in third place in Group A. The Cruzmaltinos missed the chance to take the lead in the group.
