Vasco 4 Botafogo 0

An absolutely dire performance by the Glorioso - Vasco has been one of Fogo's greatest rivals over the years but Fogo failed to live up to their name in this latest encounter - there was a distinct lack of fire about Fogo's game.

It revived question marks about the composition of the team and the delayed attempts to reinforce their promotion-winning squad of 2003. Also renewed debates about who should be keeping for Fogo - Jefferson or Max. It even extended to the wisdom of appointing club idol Mauro Galvao as coach.

Surely a strange feeling for him as he left a coaching position at Vasco to assume the reins at General Severiano after Levir Culpi resigned.

Fogo gifted Vasco three points and the aimless mood on the field, as well as the disastrous scoreline, inevitably prompted protests against the Fogo board.
