It was with Dimitri Payet starting that Vasco Da Gama hosted Fortaleza this Wednesday during the 27th day of the Brasileirão, a meeting where the Frenchman shone by scoring his first goal with his new club, and moreover, the only one of the game.
In a fairly close match at the São Januário stadium, it was in the 58th minute that the Frenchman burst out, positioned just in front of the area and launched a mischievous low left shot which deceived Ricardo. After his first assist, he scored his first goal. Payet played seven matches with Vasco until now.
