According to Samuel, the initial result was crucial to put the team in a favorable position in the contest, but it does not change the demands for the return leg.

“We played an excellent first game, we took an important step forward. And now we have the second match, at home, to do our part and secure the spot.”

The full-back’s statement shows the tone within the group; the team is fully focused on repeating what they did in the first match and using the strength of Maracanã to secure a place in the final.
