Vasco da Gama vs RB Bragantino

Red Bull Bragantino delivered a statement performance at São Januário, dismantling Vasco da Gama 3-0 in a commanding away display on Sunday night. The visitors were ruthless throughout, and a goal right on the stroke of half-time set the tone for everything that followed. Rodriguinho broke the deadlock deep in first-half stoppage time (45+1'), before Isidro Pitta doubled the advantage with a composed finish on the hour (60'). Fernando wrapped it up with a third in the 77th minute. To make matters worse for the home side, E. Sasha then squandered a consolation penalty in the 87th minute, summing up a thoroughly miserable evening at São Januário. The defeat leaves Vasco rooted in 16th place, staring nervously at the relegation zone with form showing no signs of turning. Bragantino, meanwhile, cement their spot in 6th and underline that they are a genuine threat away from home.
