Decisive Renê celebrates Lusa’s first derby win since 2013 | OneFootball

Author of two of Portuguesa's three goals in the victory over São Paulo in the Paulista Championship, Renê Sousa highlighted the greatness of the jersey he defends and already looked ahead to the team's next commitment in pursuit of another positive result.

“This jersey here is great, this team here is great. It had been a while since we won a classic. I'm happy to have helped my team. This group deserves congratulations, everyone dedicated themselves. Let's celebrate now and then work to win again in the next game,” said the 22-year-old player.

Renê Sousa also commented on the fact that the victory marked the end of a 16-year drought without wins for Lusa over São Paulo in the Paulistão. The result also held special significance for the club, as it was the first time Portuguesa defeated one of the four big teams since October 2013, when they beat Santos 3-0 in the Brazilian Championship.

“Very happy to have contributed (to this victory). This wonderful crowd, who supported us, deserves it so much,” he added.
