Castillo celebrates first goal for Fluminense: ‘A very special moment’ | OneFootball

Rodrigo Castillo experienced a special night at Maracanã. Starting for the first time wearing the Fluminense jersey, the Argentine forward scored the winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Atlético-MG, during the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship. After the match, the striker highlighted the importance of the result and valued the play that led to his first goal for the club. — It is a very special moment for me. Scoring my first goal with this jersey is something I've dreamed of. It was a very good play, a great cross from Canobbio, and I managed to take advantage of it. But the most important thing is that the team won — he stated.

— We knew it would be a tough game against a great team. We had to fight hard on the field. At times we suffered, especially at the end, but we managed to hold on to the result. The forward also commented on the physical wear of the squad after the recent sequence of matches and pointed out areas to improve for upcoming commitments. — We came from a very intense game, so the fatigue weighs in. The changes helped to bring new energy, but we know we need to improve, especially to have more control of the ball at the end of matches. Now, Castillo's Fluminense will take a break during the FIFA Date. The next commitment will be only on April 1st (Wednesday), at 9:30 PM, against Corinthians, at Maracanã.
