"Anxiety got in the way in the second half. We played well at the beginning, but conceded an unexpected goal early in the second half. We ended up getting disorganized, but we kept chasing the result. Everyone fought hard and deserves congratulations on this great victory. Overall, we played a good game. Wilson had to make some great saves, and we also hit the post. But we put in a good performance. It was tough, as we expected. But we combined the win with a good game, and I think that's the way forward," analyzed Everton Ribeiro.

The number 7 also spoke about adapting to the team. "I'm still feeling it a bit. I was talking to Guerrero about it and saw what he prefers after a play during the game. That comes with games. We need this adjustment up front to get the goals," explained Everton.
