"My professional debut was exactly what I dreamed of. I'm incredibly happy. I work hard every day, so it was all worth it. We came away with the win and without conceding a goal, which is also very important. It was a good game, and that gives me more confidence to keep working," said the goalkeeper.
At the end of the first half, the youngster made a great save when he was one-on-one with striker Dija Baiano, helping the Red-Blacks reach the break victorious. "It was a very important move, because things might have been different if they had equalized in the first half. But I managed to make a great save, and we came away with this beautiful victory," Gabriel added.
