Juventude Rallies to Beat Vasco 3–1 at São Januário, Deepening Club Crisis

Overview

• Vasco led through Rayan before Marcelo Hermes and 44‑year‑old Nenê turned the match before halftime, and Ewerthon sealed Juventude’s 3–1 win late.
• Nenê’s goal followed a Léo Jardim error in buildup, and Vasco finished with 10 men after Paulo Henrique was sent off for a second yellow card.
• Vasco stayed on 42 points in 10th place with a third straight defeat, drifting from the Libertadores zone as the crowd booed and chanted in São Januário.
• Juventude rose to 32 points in 18th place and sits two points from safety, strengthening its survival push during the run‑in.
• Terra cited BTB Sports reporting that club president Pedrinho confronted players in the locker room demanding greater commitment, a claim not independently corroborated in other outlets.
