O Vasco deu sinais de melhora e jogou boa parte do tempo de igual para igual com o Palmeiras, em Brasília, mas acabou derrotado depois de uma falha fatal do volante Hugo Moura. Sem Vegetti e Coutinho, poupados, Felipe Maestro mandou a campo uma equipe mais equilibrada física e taticamente, que começou melhor que o adversário. Após acertar mais finalizações e por pouco não sair na frente, o Vasco levou o gol na etapa final, nos pés de Vitor Roque: 1 a 0.
É o sexto jogo seguido sem vitória vascaína, apesar de Felipe ter encontrado boas soluções. Na quarta-feira, o time encara o Puerto Cabello, pela Sul-Americana. No Brasileiro, segue a queda livre, agora na décima-terceira posição.
– Nosso primeiro tempo foi muito bom. Palmeiras teve mais volume no segundo tempo. O erro acontece. A gente treinou, fez aquela jogada o jogo todo. Faz parte. Só erra quem está lá dentro. Tentamos jogar de igual para igual. Temos muitos pontos positivos. Vamos levar o erro como aprendizado para que não volte a acontecer – afirmou o zagueiro João Victor.
Mudanças deixam time mais equilibrado
A decisão de preservar o centroavante Vegetti, artilheiro do time, e o nome de maior peso na criação, Phillipe Coutinho, soou pior depois do resultado diante do Palmeiras, já que a maior dificuldade do Vasco foi concluir a gol com qualidade. Mas para quem acompanhou as últimas exibições da equipe notou uma evolução tática e física, que permitiram um nível de competitividade pouco visto na temporada, ainda mais contra um time como o Palmeiras.
Com uma trinca de meias formada por Hugo Moura, Matheus Cocão e Tchê Tchê, o Vasco conseguiu bloquear as ações do Palmeiras por dentro e sair com alguma qualidade na transição. A boa velocidade no ataque ficou por conta de Loide pela esquerda e Nuno Moreira pelo meio, fazendo as vezes de Coutinho. Na referência, Rayan fazia bem o pivô, mas também caía pelos lados para permitir a chegada dos meias.
No primeiro tempo, foram sete finalizações, quatro delas no gol, contra oito do Palmeiras, nenhuma com perigo. Loide atacou bem o espaço mas nas duas oportunidades que teve, falhou no arremate. No fim do primeiro tempo, o zagueiro João Victor encobriu Weverton, que saiu errado do gol, mas Giay salvou em cima da linha. Como Loide se machucou durante o primeiro tempo, o Vasco perdeu a sua principal jogada. E perdeu também o zagueiro Lucas Freitas por lesão, deixando a defesa vulnerável.
Falha decreta mudança de panorama
Logo no começo do segundo tempo, o Palmeiras deu o primeiro chute no gol. Martínez acertou de fora da área, a bola desviou, e obrigou Léo Jardim a voar para tirar a bola que ia no ângulo. Na saída de bola curta do Vasco, Richard Ríos pressionou Hugo Moura, que errou o passe. Estevão só rolou para Vitor Roque fazer o gol do Palmeiras, seu primeiro na volta ao Brasil.
Com a necessidade de sair, o Vasco cedeu mais espaços. No contra-ataque, Estevão acelerou e por pouco não serviu Roque para ampliar. Desta vez, Hugo Moura cortou e salvou. O técnico Felipe lançou Adson e Paulinho, tirando Nuno e Tchê Tchê. Com menos disposição e com a confiança abalada, o Vasco recuou um pouco. O Palmeiras veio para cima, com Paulinho, e tentou matar o jogo. Flaco López teve chance clara de sair livre na frente do goleiro, mas errou o alvo. Houve outras, mas o Vasco conseguiu se segurar, depois de perder forças para tentar o empate e ser engolido na etapa final.

Lance McCullers Jr.’s return to mound shows Astros will need to be patient
CHICAGO — It ended on something out of his control, a cruel instance of irony for a pitcher whose career has stalled under identical circumstances. His comeback should have concluded with a called third strike on a full-count curveball, the pitch that once launched Lance McCullers Jr. into immortality and helped bring Houston its first American League pennant.The one he spun in the fourth inning on Sunday afternoon carried no such stakes, but still caught the top of Joshua Palacios’ strike zone. Home-plate umpire Shane Livensparger disagreed and deemed it a ball. Palacios proceeded to first base and the entire Houston Astros infield went to the mound. McCullers' final pitch, a 3-2 pitch, certainly appeared to be a strike pic.twitter.com/Up7nwV9PKP — Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) May 4, 2025Manager Joe Espada met them there, offering a handshake to McCullers on a milestone […]
