“I had mentioned to Canobbio that today there would be the law of the ex and we both scored. I had a short stint at Athletico-PR at the beginning of my career. It worked out, we prophesied. The most important thing was to win and add three points in this tough championship,” he stated.

First goal at Maracanã

Besides securing the victory in the final moments of the match, the goal marks the breaking of a taboo for the left-back at the legendary Maracanã Stadium.

“An afternoon that will stay in memory: my first goal at Maracanã. I've played here many times, even against Fluminense. Happy to help. All matches in the Brazilian Championship are very tough. Even with one less player, Athletico complicated things,” he said.

“Little by little, we are getting into rhythm and gaining more synergy. I arrived here with my feet on the ground and a lot of humility. Working in all training sessions with the goal of continuing what was being done since last year,” he added.
