Match12 Sep 2026

Nuno Moreira leads the rout of Mirassol

4‑0, and Nuno Moreira took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Vasco da Gama tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Squad14 Sep 2026

A one-man rearguard from Léo Jardim

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Cuiabano was immovable

29 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Cauan Barros shuts the door

Defensive actions: 26, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Match12 Sep 2026

Vasco da Gama cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Vasco da Gama training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Paulo Henrique is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Andrés Gómez was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.23. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nuno Moreira in the eights

A performance of 8.91 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Vasco da Gama supporters have found a favourite in Matheus França

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Matheus França has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Léo Jardim is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Léo Jardim: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match12 Aug 2026

Cup progress for Vasco da Gama

A 1‑1 win over Criciuma, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near David

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Nuno Moreira in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Vasco da Gama this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Léo Jardim

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

Vasco da Gama supporters have found a favourite in Johan Rojas

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Johan Rojas has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Johan Rojas

Marked 8.81 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Thiago Mendes was immovable

20 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.
