In the 37th round of the 2024 Brazilian Championship (second to last round), Vasco defeated Atlético-MG by 2 to 0 on December 4 (Wednesday), at the Estádio São Januário.
With the victory, Vasco ended a five-game winless streak and mathematically secured their spot in the 2025 Copa Sul-Americana. Meanwhile, Atlético-MG plunged deeper into crisis, as they have not won in 12 games and could miss out on the 2025 Copa Libertadores. After the game, Atlético-MG announced the dismissal of coach Gabriel Milito.
Key Moments of the Match
Philippe Coutinho was pivotal in Vasco’s victory, contributing to both goals: he assisted Vegetti's goal, ending the striker's six-match scoring drought, and then scored his first goal since returning to the club, sealing the win for Vasco. The team's new tactical setup proved effective, and Coutinho's creativity was one of the main highlights of the match.
