After the match, the player celebrated the team’s current form but stressed the importance of staying focused for the rest of the season.

We can only thank God for the campaign we’re having and for the goal as well. We’re unbeaten this year, and that’s the result of everyone’s commitment. But we always have to stay grounded, because we still haven’t won anything and there’s always something we can improve.

Palmeiras return to action in the Brazilian Under-17 Championship on July 7 at 3 p.m., when they face Corinthians at Parque São Jorge. The current leaders of the competition, Verdão are aiming to win their third national title in the category.
