Analysis The numbers behind the result
Vasco's dominance in possession and shots yields emphatic win
Vasco da Gama's 5-0 victory was fully deserved, reflected in their overwhelming statistical dominance. They recorded 32 shots to Coritiba's 4, with 11 on target compared to just 1 from the visitors, underpinning their superiority in chance creation. Vasco's 65% possession translated into relentless pressure, evidenced by 12 corner kicks to Coritiba's 2, and 23 shots inside the box highlighting their penetration.
Facundo Colidio opened the scoring in the 24th minute, setting the tone for Vasco's clinical display. Bruno Duarte and Andrés Gómez extended the lead before halftime, with the latter also providing an assist. Alan Lescano's 56th-minute penalty and Ramon Rique's 73rd-minute strike sealed a comprehensive victory. Coritiba, with only 35% possession, managed just one shot on target, their defensive frailties exposed by Vasco's attacking efficiency. The decisive stat was Vasco's 32 total shots, a clear indicator of their control and Coritiba's inability to contain them.
