Corinthians beat Vasco away, end winless run in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

In São Januário, Corinthians beat Vasco 3-2 on Sunday (24), in the 21st round of Brasileirão 2025.

Timão was better in the first half, with the full-backs Matheuzinho and Matheus Bidu as great offensive weapons.

And it was precisely in a cross from the left-back that Maycon scored first.

The Giant of the Hill, in turn, made many mistakes in building plays, providing some dangerous counter-attacks.

The result was not worse because Breno Bidon and Maycon sinned in the finishes to Léo Jardim's goal.

The best carioca chance came in Rayan's bomb that forced Hugo Souza to perform a small miracle. The ball still hit the crossbar, but did not enter.

This was only the third time in 2025 that Corinthians finished the first half ahead on the scoreboard.

Vasco returned better from the interval and did not take long to equalize.

After a cross from the right by Pumita Rodríguez, Vegetti and André Ramalho disputed the space in the area, and the Corinthians defender ended up putting his hand on the ball.

After VAR review, the penalty was marked, and the "Pirate" decreed equality on the scoreboard.

But it didn't take long for Corinthians to take the lead again, when Garro risked from outside the area, Léo Jardim defended to the side, where Matheuzinho picked up the rebound crossing low for Gui Negão to complete alone in the small area.

And, in the final minutes, Rodrigo Garro took a corner, and defender Gustavo Henrique didn't even need to get off the ground to head and increase for Timão.

In the additions, Piton took a quick lateral, and Andrés Goméz crossed the area for Rayan to reduce for Vasco.
