In a fast-paced and thrilling match until the end, Mengão defeated Vitória 2-1 at Barradão Stadium and remains firmly in the hunt for the Brazilian Championship title with 46 points. Midfielder Diego, who set up the second goal for the Greatest in the World, spoke about the match and previewed the match against Palmeiras in the next round.

"Each game we'll face different challenges, and the three points are certainly worth their weight in gold. The team handled the game very well. In the first half, we struggled to lock down our defense and control the game even when we had possession, but the second half was much better. We capitalized on our opportunities and deservedly won. Today I'm very satisfied to have won once again. The game against Palmeiras will be tough, but we'll go there to play our football, as we have so far, and if we can do that, I believe we have a good chance of getting a good result," said the midfielder.

In the next round (14), Mais Querido faces Palmeiras, at 21:45 pm, at Arena Palmeiras.
