Andrey Fernandes marks historic night, Vasco title for family

Andrey Fernandes scored both goals in Vasco's 2-0 victory over Palmeiras, securing the Brazilian Under-20 Championship title for the first time in the team's history. The forward was overwhelmed with emotion upon his triumph at Nubank Parque, dedicating the moment to his family and emphasizing the prayers they had offered throughout their journey. Andrey's father and brother were among those who prayed for this special moment.

The player also praised the entire squad, acknowledging that they had to endure doubt during the competition. He stated, "This group here is wonderful. People doubted us, and today we can show all of Brazil what it means to be Vasco." With his two goals in the final, Andrey was instrumental in Vasco's comeback in the tie. After losing 1-0 in the first leg at São Januário, the team triumphed 2-0 in São Paulo, clinching the championship title.

Andrey's performance was crucial in this victory, as he reiterated during the celebrations. He also highlighted the support of the fans who followed the team to the final, saying, "These fans are wonderful, there's no explaining it. Let's go, Vasco."
