After a 1-0 victory over Boston River on Tuesday (07) at the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo (URU), in their CONMEBOL Sudamericana opener, goalkeeper Rafael gave an interview at the end of the match.

“The wind and the rain made things very difficult. We knew it would be a tough game, and it was important to win and get the points. We’re happy. The most important thing is the three points we’re taking home,” said the goalkeeper.

“Now the focus is on the Brasileirão, without forgetting that the Sudamericana is a very difficult competition,” he added.

After the match, forward Tete also celebrated the positive result in his competition debut.

“I’m very happy to make my debut in a competition of this magnitude. I can only thank God for everything,” celebrated the number 34.
