The red-and-black team's campaign in the CONMEBOL South American Championship bears the hallmark of the "Boy from the Nest." After scoring the goal that sparked the Mais Querido's comeback against Fluminense in the previous round of the competition, Felipe Vizeu found the net again that night, this time to seal the comeback against Junior Barranquilla.

This was also the number 25's second goal at Maracanã this early in his career. Despite the joy, keeping his feet on the ground was a point the young center forward emphasized. "It's a source of great happiness. First, I want to thank God and the squad," he commented. "It's a very emotional moment, but we know nothing is set in stone yet. We will continue to work with humility and dedication. We have a very tough game in the second leg, so we need a lot of humility to achieve this qualification," Vizeu projected.

Before the return match against Junior Barranquilla, however, there's a clash against Santos in the Brazilian Championship. With the key turning point after tomorrow's training session, Vizeu emphasized the importance of this match, crucial in the quest for direct qualification for next season's CONMEBOL Libertadores.

"Let's wait and see what Professor Rueda tells us. We have a very important game against Santos. We need to turn things around for the Brasileirão and then focus on this second leg. We know how important it is," he concluded.

The Most Beloved will face the Santos team this Sunday (26). The match will be played at Ilha do Urubu, with the ball rolling from 19 pm. Next week, the red-black delegation will head to Colombia, where, next Thursday (30), the place for the grand final of the Conmebol South American will be decided.
