Vasco wins seesaw battle for 3rd Place

In their second straight third place match at the Mundialito de Clubes C.R. Vasco da Gama was able to win third place in for thee second straight time as they won 3-1 against Botafogo F.R. No goals were scored in the opening period but the second frame saw the game open up and The Comeback team did just that, comeback. Vasco went down late in the second but rebounded nicely to take the lead in the middle frame as they went on to win.

The 15th match and third place playoff of the tournament began terribly exciting and had an intense first few minutes including an amazing shot that bounced off the bottom of the crossbar. The Lone Stars dominated the tempo very early in the period. Vasco ended up finding their groove and created many great opportunities, though going into the middle of the period, no goals had been scored, mainly due to great saves and goalkeeping. The final minutes of the opening frame were back and forth but neither side was able to net a goal because of great defense, takeaways, tackles, and saves. The period ended with a clean sheet.

There were some incredible shots taken in the opening minutes of the second frame but the strikes did not find their way in. Close-range shots were deflected and stopped beautifully to keep the game scoreless early on. Just when one team began to grab some traction, the other side would dig their heels in defensively and protect their squad from giving up a goal. Just over five minutes from the end of the frame The Great Fire scored on a hard-struck ball to score the first goal of the match. The Giants of the Hill created many more chances in the middle frame but heading into the final minutes they had yet to score, though there was a feeling the goals would come soon. They did. Vasco scored two quick goals to end the period and the frame ended with a score of 2-1, Vasco.

Both sides began the final period spending much time in front of the other teams net, in scrums trying to put the ball in the net but were unable to do so until there were eight minutes left and Botinho of The Victory Express nailed a shot past The Great Fire and scored the first goal of the period. The score put Vasco up by two goals. Free kicks and set pieces occurred frequently in the final minutes but no goals were added and the game ended with a score of Vasco da Gama 3-1 Botafogo.

The 3-1 win for C.R. Vasco da Gama gives them their second straight 3rd place finish in the Mundialito de Clubes. This was the third edition of the tournament and Vasco won it in 2011 as well. This victory is very satisfying for the Brazilian side because they had trouble finding goals throughout this tournament. The loss is disappointing for The Glorious Ones but it was their first appearance in the tournament, so finishing 4th was a great way to end it.

Goals: 0-1: Bernardo, min. 4 (2); 1-1: Gil, min. 2 (2); 2-1: Jorginho, min. 1 (2); 3-1: Botinho, min. 8 (3).
