REVIEW Cruzeiro vs Vasco da Gama
IDDAAKOLIK POST-MATCH REVIEW

Cruzeiro and Vasco da Gama couldn't be separated, finishing 3-3. From 1-0 down at the break, the game flipped completely after half-time. A 6-goal game — the defences never settled.

A gentle 51% lean on Cruzeiro didn't survive contact with the match; margins like that flip all the time. The one blemish: under 2.5 goals (55%) never looked like landing.

On the day, Cruzeiro had 60% of the ball to Vasco da Gama's 40%, shots finished 20-15, expected goals 1.12 to 1.37.

The head-to-head backdrop: across their last 6 meetings in our records, Cruzeiro had the better of it with 2 wins, 3 drawn. Those games averaged 0.83 goals for Cruzeiro and 0.83 for Vasco da Gama.
