Vasco’s drought continues, 10 years without a win over Palmeiras | OneFootball

The 3-0 defeat this Wednesday (1st), at Allianz Parque, was not just another loss in the Brazilian Championship for Vasco. The result also cemented an uncomfortable streak: the Cruz-Maltino has now gone 10 years without beating Palmeiras.

The last Cruz-Maltino victory over the team from São Paulo happened on November 8, 2015, coincidentally at the same venue as tonight’s defeat. On that occasion, Vasco won 2-0 in a match valid for that year’s Brasileirão. Since then, there have been 14 official encounters between the teams, with Palmeiras holding a clear advantage: 10 wins for Palmeiras and 4 draws.

This new setback highlights Vasco’s difficulty in overcoming top-table opponents and, at the same time, reinforces the need for improvement in high-level competitive matches. While Palmeiras remains established as one of the country’s main forces, Vasco is still searching for consistency to compete on equal footing with historic rivals.

Cruz-Maltino now turns its attention to the match against Vitória, next Sunday (5), at São Januário. The game represents a chance for immediate recovery and relief after another bitter night against their São Paulo nemesis.
