Decisive figure settles it late for Athletico-PR | OneFootball

Kevin Viveros struck in the first minute of second half stoppage time to give Athletico Paranaense a 2-1 win over Santos.

Earlier, he drew the foul that led to a penalty, converted in the sixth minute after VAR confirmed the spot kick. His direct running forced the Alvinegro Praiano to retreat.

He then tested the Peixe goalkeeper from close range (15.). Across the contest he was fouled five times, repeatedly turning defenders and keeping attacks alive.

The Colombian finished with three attempts, two on target, and nine touches in the area, underpinning Athletico-PR's pressure. He also regained possession six times to restart moves high up.

His late movement across the line created the lane for a first time finish from Lucas Esquivel's pass, the moment that lifted Furacão.

Furacão rise from 12th to fourth in the table, while Peixe sit 19th.
