Vasco defeats Corinthians 3-2 in dramatic comeback
Vasco da Gama secured a vital 3-2 comeback victory against Corinthians in a 32nd-round Campeonato Brasileiro match at São Januário. After Puma Rodríguez opened the scoring for Vasco in the first half, Corinthians responded early in the second half with goals from Gustavo Henrique and Matheus Bidu to take a 2-1 lead.
Colombian attacker Marino Hinestroza emerged as the hero, scoring twice in the final minutes of the match to seal the win for the Rio de Janeiro side. The result moves Vasco up to 13th place with 38 points, distancing them from the relegation zone. Conversely, the defeat drops Corinthians into the relegation zone (Z-4) in 17th place, marking an unsuccessful debut for their new manager, Clarence Seedorf, and extending their winless streak to 11 games.
Vasco now prepares for a high-stakes week, facing Flamengo in a classic derby followed by the first leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinals against Palmeiras.
