Timon reached 21 more wins in the direct confrontation against his rival and won again in the championship after six rounds; Cruzmaltina fans protested against the team
Even without their main players, Corinthians played better than Vasco in the middle of São Januário, beat the carioca customer 3-2 and ended fasting of six games without winning in the Brazilian. Timon has 21 more wins in direct confrontation and has incredible supremacy against their rival in the last games: since 2010, they have won 15 duels and lost only twice. Marking on top and exploring the back of the Cruzmaltina defense, Timão created good opportunities, saw Bidu stand out and just did not leave with elastic score because of vacilings of his defense. With 25 points, the São Paulo team has six advantage over Vitória, the first team of the relegation zone, but cannot afford to relax. The disparity in the number of games is misleading.
Vasco, on the other hand, has a lot with what to worry about. If the Bahian lion wins Flamengo tomorrow, will change places with the Cruzmaltino team on Z-4. The fans protested a lot against the team, with some curses to Fernando Diniz. The draw only arose because of André Ramalho’s error, who put his hand on the ball in the area in dispute with Vegetti. Timon won 1-0 and could have expanded, but took the draw on the penalty charged by the Argentine. However, the hill giant did not take advantage of the favorable atmosphere and took a goal, scored by Gui Negão, again giving a lot of space to the opponent.
The home team stopped offering resistance and took the third after a corner kick, with Gustavo Henrique winning from Alto da Zafa Vasca. The invoice seemed liquidated, with shouts from the viewer’s crowd, but happy Torres made excitement in the final minutes. He dropped the marking in the side charge to scold Garro, and on his back came Rayan’s goal. Raniele almost handed over the draw soon after, but the ball close it was Vasco’s last breath and decreed the very important Corinthian victory in São Januário.
