Palmeiras × Vasco da Gama · Brasileirão
Goals
Match report
Palmeiras beat Vasco da Gama 4-1 on Sunday 23 August at the Nubank Parque in São Paulo, in round 24 of the Brazilian championship. The first half ended goalless, and the whole match was settled after the interval: the hosts scored three times in the opening ten minutes of the second half, through Flaco López, Vitor Roque and Maurício, turning a contest that had been even until then.
Flaco López added the fourth late on to finish the afternoon with a brace. Colidio pulled one back for Vasco in stoppage time, long after the result was beyond doubt. There were no red cards, and the attendance was 36,382. Brazilian sources disagree on the exact minute of each goal, so this report gives the sequence, which is what all of them confirm.
The win keeps Abel Ferreira's Palmeiras top of the Brasileirão on 51 points, six clear of Flamengo on 45. Vasco stay 19th with 22 points, leaving São Paulo with nothing from a match they had held for as long as the first half lasted. Every one of the home side's four goals arrived after the break, in a second half they controlled from the restart.
