This Sunday, Cruzeiro beat Red Bull Bragantino from behind by 2 to 1, at Mineirão, in Belo Horizonte (MG). The author of the winning goal, full-back Kaiki, revealed by Raposa, celebrated the goal and talked about the good phase of the Minas Gerais team.
“I have been through all the moments of Cruzeiro. I have been here since I was eleven years old and living this wonderful moment with Cruzeiro is sensational. Now it's time to work to continue with this good moment”, said Kaiki, in an interview with Premiere.
With the game jammed at Mineirão, Kaiki took advantage of a cross from Matheus Pereira to score the winning goal for Cruzeiro, at 32 minutes of the second half.
“Our group is very united. We celebrate the goal together, regardless of who scores. I dedicate this goal to the whole group“, he added.
The full-back also talked about the difficulty of the match. Cruzeiro fell behind in the score, but with goals from him and Lucas Silva, they were able to take the three points at Mineirão.
“We managed to react still in the first half, we scored the goal and then we came back for the second half better. We fixed what needed to be fixed. It was a very difficult game, quite complicated”, the full-back analyzed.
Cruzeiro moved up to the second position in the Brasileirão, with 50 points, just one behind the leader Flamengo. However, the Minas Gerais team has one more game than Rubro-Negro and two more games than the third-placed Palmeiras.
Now, the Minas Gerais team visits Vasco this Saturday, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at São Januário, for the 25th round of the Brasileirão.
