The number 20 was called up by Zé Ricardo in the second half, replacing Orlando Berrío, who scored the first goal for the red-and-black team. "I came on and managed to get the job done, helping the team again. We didn't have a great match, especially tactically. However, on an individual play, I ended up winning the penalty, and Everton Ribeiro converted it with quality," said Vinicius Junior.
