The Chilean received from Giorgian De Arrascaeta and hit the corner, untouchable by Léo Jardim. It is his first goal in 27 matches with Mengão.
Eric Thumb is in a state of grace flamenco. The 29-year-old, born in Antofagasta, will experience a second stage at Rubro-Negro after his arrival in July 2022. With the arrival of Jorge Sampaoli on Mengão’s technical bench, the former Fiorentina became a key player. and for Vasco da Gama, in a new edition of the Clássico dos Milhões, the national team international responded to the confidence of the Casilda-born man with a beautiful goal from another match. On minute 13, the Chilean moved out of the area and unleashed a right-footed shot that plummeted into the corner, untouchable by Léo Jardim. That goal marked his first cry in 27 games with the home side of the club from Rio de Janeiro. A conquest that allows him to safely reach the clash against Racing for a ticket to the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores and the matches that La Roja will play (against Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Bolivia) in the run-up to the premiere of the South American qualifiers en route to the 2026 World Cup against Uruguay.
