Vasco DA Gama defeated Coritiba 5-0 at São Januário, completing a dominant Serie A victory on Saturday, September 19. Vasco led 2-0 at half-time and added three more goals after the interval to secure the win in Round 28.

Vasco establish control before the break

Facundo Colidio opened the scoring in the 24th minute, giving Vasco an early advantage. Bruno Duarte Da Silva doubled the lead just before half-time, finishing after an assist from Andrés Gómez in the 44th minute.

The first-half score reflected Vasco’s greater attacking output. They recorded 65% possession and completed 514 accurate passes, compared with Coritiba’s 244. Vasco also produced 16 shots before adding to their lead after the interval, while Coritiba struggled to create sustained pressure.

Three-goal second half settles the match

Alan Lescano made it 3-0 from the penalty spot in the 56th minute. Coritiba’s Paulo Roberto was booked in the 61st minute, and Vasco extended their advantage two minutes later when Gómez scored from an assist by Alan Saldivia.

Gómez received a yellow card in the 64th minute before leaving the match in the 71st. Lescano was also replaced at that point, with Marino Hinestroza and Ramon Rique Santos De Souza Barros entering for Vasco. Ramon Rique then completed the scoring in the 73rd minute. Nicolas Fonseca was booked for Coritiba in the 75th minute, while neither team received a red card.

Statistics underline one-sided contest

Vasco finished with 32 total shots to Coritiba’s four, including 11 shots on goal against one. They also had 23 shots inside the box, compared with three for Coritiba, and earned 12 corners to two. Coritiba goalkeeper saves totalled six, while Vasco’s goalkeeper made one save.

The possession and passing figures also favoured the home side. Vasco completed 588 total passes and Coritiba 322. The five-goal margin therefore matched the overall balance of play rather than contradicting the attacking numbers.
