Nuno Moreira hails Vasco’s derby win: “It gives us more confidence” | OneFootball

Vasco defeated Fluminense 2-0 this Monday, in the 29th round of the Série A of the Brazilian Championship, in a classic match held at Maracanã. The result marked Vasco’s return to winning ways at the stadium and confirmed the good moment for Fernando Diniz’s team, who achieved their third consecutive victory in the competition. The goals were scored by Rayan and Nuno Moreira.

The Portuguese player, who scored the second goal, highlighted the importance of the result for the team’s momentum. “It’s a classic, a big game. It gives us more confidence for the upcoming matches. Even before the wins, we were already playing well. Diniz trusted us and we knew how to endure. Confidence turns into victories,” said Nuno, who has become an important part of the team.

Enjoying a good phase since arriving at São Januário, the forward also spoke about the atmosphere at the club. “I try to do my best so my body can rest. I’m happy here. And when we’re happy, everything comes naturally, there’s no tiredness,” he added.

With the win, Vasco reached 39 points, overtook São Paulo, and took eighth place in the Brasileirão, now just two points behind their tricolor rivals, who remain in seventh with 41.

The team returns to the field this Sunday, when they face Bragantino in Bragança Paulista for the 30th round. Fluminense, meanwhile, hosts Internacional on Saturday at Maracanã.
