Kevin Viveros settled it in the second minute of second half stoppage time with a close-range finish, sealing Athletico Paranaense's 3-1 win over Vitória.
He had already swung momentum earlier, winning a penalty in the 31st minute after drawing a foul in the box. He then buried the spot kick (34.) to cancel out Leão da Barra's opener.
After the restart, he forced Lucas Arcanjo into a reflex stop with a central strike (48.). Moments later, he slipped a neat ball to Bruninho, whose rising effort was tipped away (52.).
The Colombian forward finished with four attempts, all on target, plus three key passes and nine touches in the box, underlining how consistently he threatened from prime areas.
His movement between centre-backs created repeated lanes for Athletico-PR to play into, keeping Nêgo's defence off balance and ensuring the home side carried punch deep into the game.
Furacão rise from sixth to fifth and host Grêmio next. Leão da Barra drop from 11th to 13th and visit Confiança in the Copa do Nordeste next.
How high would you rate Viveros' performance tonight?
