Opening the scoring with a goal from Berrío, Flamengo conceded an equalizer in the opening minutes of the second half, but scored the second late in the match to secure a major victory. "We conceded a goal early in the second half and ended up feeling a bit unsteady. However, the bad streak was bothering us, and we started chasing again. Teams that come to play here tend to sit tight at the back, and sometimes it's difficult to break down, but we kept going for the win. The penalty came late in the match, and Everton Ribeiro converted. I'm happy with my debut as a starter and the positive result. I'm returning to Brazil now, and it's completely different. The schedule has strong streaks, so we still need to adapt and get into rhythm. But I'm sure that will come with training and matches," said Geuvânio.
"Our team knows it's capable of playing well from start to finish. We're still growing. New players have arrived, and we still need to get to know each other. I'm sure this will come with training and matches. One example was when Guerrero spoke to me about his preferred crosses. This adaptation will make the job much easier," the player explained.
When asked about the play that led to Flamengo's first goal, Geuvânio cited the quality of his teammates. "The play that led to the goal was important. I managed to make a tackle and pass to Everton Ribeiro, who is a very intelligent player. Berrío used his speed to get to the other side and score. Speed, counter-attacking, and dribbling are our team's strengths," he concluded.
