Vasco has started smiling again in front of their fans at São Januário. After six consecutive games without a win as the home team in the Brazilian Championship, Fernando Diniz's team beat Bahia 3 to 1, on Wednesday night (24), in a delayed match from the 16th round.
The author of the first goal of the match, Philippe Coutinho did not hide his relief at the result. The number 10 emphasized the importance of the victory and the need to face each confrontation as decisive in the Cruzmaltino's struggle in the competition.
– The situation we are in is delicate, we have to live each game as a final. I believe that during the competition we played games that we deserved to have won. Of course, we would be in a better position in the table, but we learned from our mistakes and now it's time to continue and improve — said the midfielder.
The victory ended a negative home streak that had lasted since May 17, when Vasco had defeated Fortaleza in the Brasileirão. Since then, the team had two losses (to Bragantino and Corinthians) and three draws (against Ceará, Atlético-MG and Grêmio), until they found their way back to victory this Wednesday.
