The player explained that the goal was bound to come: "It was just a matter of time. What we have to do is create opportunities, and when we do, the goals come. It could have happened earlier or later. We just have to stay focused on what we have to do on the pitch and things will come naturally."

The 'number 17' also praised Rodrigo Ribeiro: "If we work, things will come. Rodrigo Ribeiro has to keep it up, he played a good game, it's just a matter of continuing," said the player who was named MVP of the match that secured the Lions' place in the next round.
