Moisés hails Santos win, eyes Brasileiro upturn: “It gives confidence” | OneFootball

Scorer of Santos ’ winning goal in the 1-0 victory over Atlético-MG this Saturday, Moisés celebrated the strike and emphasized that the result could mark a turning point for the team in the competition. The forward also mentioned the spell of instability the Peixe had been going through in recent matches.

“Thank God for the goal and the win. We were coming off two defeats, one in the Brasileirão in a very difficult match against Flamengo, and then in our Copa Sudamericana debut, which didn’t go the way we expected. It’s no excuse to say the altitude affected us, because we started the game very well, but we conceded from a set piece. It’s important to get points, because we know how difficult the Brasileirão is. This win gives us confidence,” he told Premiere.

Moisés came on in the second half and, in one of his first involvements, received a good pass from Gabigol and went one-on-one with the goalkeeper to score the goal that gave the Peixe the win at Vila Belmiro.

“We keep going with humility and our feet on the ground. There’s still a long way to go, but winning this match gives us an extra boost in the Brasileirão to get out of the lower part of the table, which is uncomfortable. Santos is not a team meant to be fighting down there. We have to aim higher. We’ll work to improve in the league and pick up points at home and away so we can finish the year in Série A,” he continued.

With the result, the Peixe move up to 14th place with 13 points, five more than Chapecoense. The Santa Catarina side sits in 17th place, opening the relegation zone, with eight points, two fewer than Corinthians, the first team outside the bottom four.
