On the day of the Last of the Mohicans, Douglas Baggio and Matheus Sávio were linked for the game alongside Jorge and Jajá. All the youngsters from the youth academy got a chance to play on the field, and the midfielder took advantage of it to score his goal, right on his professional debut.

"I'm very happy with the opportunity to make my professional debut at Léo Moura's farewell party. Thank God, I was lucky enough to score the goal, but this whole celebration is to honor him. The whole nation was there, and for the ten years he's been here, all the titles... He's an idol to us," revealed Matheus Sávio. He was brought in with resources from Flamengo of the Nation.

Like Douglas Baggio, all the youth players benefit from the Nação Rubro-Negra program. The striker also celebrated the opportunity to play and his idol's career:

"I fulfilled my dream of playing professionally at the Maracanã. Without a doubt, it's a night that will stay in my memory forever. I'm happy with the victory and the beautiful party the fans threw for Léo Moura. He's our idol, our role model, and he deserves it so much," he said.
