🎥 Vasco embarrassed at São Januário as RB Bragantino run riot | OneFootball

Vasco’s current moment is far from pleasant.

Playing at São Januário this Sunday (24), the Cruz-Maltino side was run over by Red Bull Bragantino: a 3-0 defeat in front of its own fans.

Including a penalty missed by Massa Bruta.

And it stayed glued to the Brasileirão relegation zone.

A result that came after several tributes to club idol Geovani, who passed away last Monday.

Vasco had already been beaten 4-1 by Inter in the previous round and came into this Brasileirão clash after resting players in the defeat to Olimpia in the Copa Sudamericana.

There were plenty of insults for coach Renato Gaúcho, for example. 

First target clearly identified 🎯

Lucas Piton was already out of favor with a good part of the Vasco fanbase.

And he went into halftime being cursed at.

He lost an aerial duel, failed to keep up with Rodriguinho, and saw the midfielder open the scoring in the 46th minute.

Changes, chances and... humiliation!

Renato Gaúcho turned to Cuiabano (replacing Piton) and Brenner in the 52nd minute.

But Massa Bruta were the ones who struck again soon after, in the 60th, through Pitta. Ending a nine-match drought.

Vasco certainly tried. But Volpi was having an inspired night, including two great saves. 

One of Renato’s new changes moved Saldivia to right-back.

And he made a mistake when passing the ball back to Léo Jardim. Fernando got there first, rounded the goalkeeper, and scored (77').

Renato then became the main target of some fans, who threw plastic cups toward the coach.

There was still time for VAR to confirm a penalty by Barros on Eric Ramires.

Sasha won the "battle" with Volpi and missed his third penalty in a row.

Standings situation 📊

Vasco remained on 20 points. The team dropped to 16th place.

Santos, with 18, are the team opening the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, the team from Bragança moved up to 26.

They are now in fifth place ahead of Coritiba x Bahia, which will close out Matchday 17.
