Vasco da Gama’s dream of remaining in Brasileirao’s Serie A was boosted with a triumph over América Mineiro. Ramón Díaz’s team achieved a key victory, 2 to 1, with a great goal from a free kick by Frenchman Dimitri Payet in the third minute of injury time. Thus, he reached 40 points, and what at the beginning of the Pelado cycle seemed impossible, not descending, today is an illusion and not a dream in the feelings of the twisters.
The madness was very evident in the Sao Januario stadium: there was a lot of crying among the fans, in a party that continued in a stadium packed with more than 22,000 people until several minutes after the game.
Pelado’s team reached 40 points in 33 games, three points above Cruzeiro, the next rival and the first team in the category loss zone, which also has one less game. Bahía has 38 points in 34 games, so a very strong fight until the end to stay in Serie A is to be expected.
There was an Argentine contribution to the Basque victory: Paul Vegetti. The former Belgrano once again confirmed why it was a wise move for Ramón to incorporate him shortly after taking office. He scored his ninth goal in 16 games under the command of the Riojan, scoring after a pass from Pec.

In any case, the already relegated team was determined to sell the defeat dearly. The Uruguayan Mastreani achieved equality. Of course, the greatest tension was shown by the Vasco players, who needed the three points much more than their opponent. And there was no good collective performance, which was evident.
Already in the second half, there was an incredible play, one of those that is sure to go to the end of the year summaries. After a cross from the right, Vegetti’s header hit the crossbar. With the goalkeeper defeated, Pec had the entire goal at his disposal and his header went over the top. No one, but no one, could understand what he saw.
All this ended with Payet’s jewel, which in the celebration included the image of Roberto Dinamita, the Basque idol who recently passed away, which was printed on the sleeve, to further increase the joy of the people.
Ramón, disappointed
After the game, the Argentine coach said that he was angry with the team’s performance. “I am very disappointed with the team because it is not our way of working. Of course, everyone is happy with the result, but in football, to save a team, you have to play well, you have to interpret it differently. way, you have to have another rhythm, another dynamic and another pressure. We have been working for a long time and the team has failed, so I am quite worried because, even with the victory, the fight is not over yet. There are many games left and I am sure We will correct everything.”
“Today was a very special day, we talked all week that it would be the most difficult game, because when you face a team that has no commitment or responsibility to play for points it is really very difficult. They were superior in every way: tactically, in play, in dynamics, in pressure and in individual duels. They were much superior in all sectors,” added Ramón.
