The forward also scored in the 1-0 victory at Allianz Parque, in the first match of the decider, helping secure the title. Later that year, he was also on the pitch in the Copa do Brasil round of 16, when Corinthians won both matches, 1-0 and 2-0, in addition to taking part in a 1-1 draw in the Brasileirão.
