With ‘law of the ex’, Fortaleza wins and sinks Vasco in the Brasileirão

O Basque lost the third consecutive Brasileirão. O Strength featured a goal by Thiago Galhardo, who activated the ‘law of the former’ and guaranteed Leão de Pici’s victory by 2 to 0. The striker took advantage of Bruno Pacheco’s cross and scored one of the goals that gave the three points to the home team . With the result, Tricolor entered the G-6 and still pushed rivals from Rio into the relegation zone.

It is worth noting that the Brasileirão round could be even worse for Vasco. Corinthians and América-MG will still enter the field and may even overtake the opponent from Rio. There is a chance that the team will end up in the penultimate position of the championship. Therefore, the moment is delicate for Cruzmaltino. Meanwhile, Fortaleza is still looking to touch the top.

The first half of the confrontation between Fortaleza and Vasco was marked by good chances of goals for both sides. Both goalkeepers worked, but the ball did not find the net. The home team had a slightly more aggressive stance in attack, while Cruzmaltino sought to find counterattacks to try to open up the advantage.

However, the best chance of the first half was Vasco’s. Figueiredo hit the post and was close to 1-0. Alex Teixeira was also close to scoring, but João Ricardo saved it. In response, Fortaleza almost scored with shots from Thiago Galhardo, Hércules and Calebe, but the three stopped in great saves by Léo Jardim.

But in the second half, Vasco was unable to hold the pressure from Fortaleza. The team from Rio even had chances to take the lead, but did not know how to take advantage of them. In this way, the team from Vojvoda launched the attack and was not afraid to seek the result. After many failed attempts, the team managed to win with Thiago Galhardo. He climbed above everyone else in the area and put his head on the ball to secure the 1-0 lead in the 41st minute of the second half.

Still in the additions, Fortaleza would manage to reach 2 to 0. In another excellent move by Bruno Pacheco, he crossed into the area and Silvio Romero arrived only to head past Léo Jardim and guarantee the three points for Leão de Pici at Arena Castelão .
