Vasco lose edge at São Januário, winless run grows in Brasileirão

The 2-2 draw with Ceará on Sunday was yet another tough blow for Vasco at São Januário. The team let the victory slip away in the last minute, further increasing the fans' frustration with their home campaign in the Brazilian Championship.

It's been four months without a win at the stadium in the Brasileirão, and the performance has dropped to just 50%. In eight matches played at home, there have been three wins, three draws, and two losses — 12 points out of 24 possible.

The negative streak is concerning because the team is only in 15th place on the table, with 23 points, one above the relegation zone. The warning signal is on.

After the game, Fernando Diniz did not hide his disappointment:

“What frustrates the most is that São Januário is Vasco's home, it's where Vasco is strongest. We really wanted to win here again. It's very frustrating because of that.”

The last victory in the Brasileirão at São Januário was on May 17, when Vasco thrashed Fortaleza 3-0. Since then, they have only managed to triumph against Melgar (Sudamericana) and CSA (Copa do Brasil) in parallel tournaments.

The next challenge at home will be against Bahia, in a delayed match of the 16th round, scheduled for next Wednesday. More than the three points, Vasco seeks to break the drought and regain strength at São Januário.
