📹 Diniz loses his cool with players as Vasco are beaten, watch the moment | OneFootball

At Estádio Maião, in the interior of São Paulo, Vasco lost to Mirassol 2-1, coming from behind, this Thursday (29th), in the teams’ debut in the 2026 Brasileirão.

The Cruz-Maltino opened the scoring with Coutinho, who ended up unconscious after a head collision while going up for a challenge with defender João Victor.

The scene caused concern among players from both teams.

Soon after Cuesta’s own goal, another scene caught attention during the broadcast of the match.

An impressive scolding from coach Fernando Diniz to Vasco’s players during the hydration break.

The “target” of the Cruz-Maltino coach was the Portuguese forward Nuno Moreira, who tried to argue: “But I didn’t do anything.”

Very irritated, Diniz replied to the player: “You really didn’t do anything! Nothing, nothing, nothing! You’re supposed to do something! You’re supposed to play!”

After halftime, Eduardo secured the comeback for Mirassol.
