Vasco DA Gama edge Corinthians in five-goal thriller

M. Hinestroza's brace seals a dramatic 3-2 victory for Vasco DA Gama.

Vasco DA Gama secured a narrow 3-2 win over Corinthians in a match full of twists. J. Rodríguez opened the scoring before Corinthians fought back with goals from Gustavo Henrique and Matheus Bidu early in the second half. However, M. Hinestroza's late brace, including a 90th-minute winner, clinched the victory for Vasco DA Gama. Fipster's prediction of a home win was on the money, though the scoreline was far closer than the anticipated 4-0 rout.
