Santos defeated Noroeste 2-1 this Sunday, in the seventh round of the Campeonato Paulista. The victory moves Peixe away from the relegation zone in the competition and keeps the team alive in the fight for a spot in the quarterfinals. Rony, who scored the second goal for Alvinegro Praiano, found the net for the first time wearing the club’s shirt and praised the triumph.

“It was a tough game. We knew how important it was to play well today, but the most important thing was the three points. Regardless of anything else, that’s what mattered. I thank God for this opportunity and for wearing this shirt. Scoring is important for a striker and I’m happy to get my first goal for Santos. I hope it’s the first of many,” he told TNT Sports.

Rony also revealed that he had promised a reward to Igor Vinícius in case of an assist and highlighted the “privilege” of scoring for the club.

“I told Igor Vinícius that if he managed to give me an assist, I would give him a reward. I’m going to frame today’s shirt because it’s very gratifying, a great privilege to score a goal wearing this shirt,” he added.

The striker also acknowledged Santos’ difficult moment in the season and promised a response from the group.

“We know the moment we’re going through and I believe that we only achieve things by working hard. We have to think positively. Every day we’re improving, but we know we need to win and pick up points. We push ourselves a lot, and that’s what makes a winning team. Our group is very united and we hope to improve. We’re going to respond,” he concluded.
