The Portuguese international praised striker Nicolas Jackson, who played a crucial role in the opening goal. Neto explained, "I remember seeing the defender coming and I just chopped the ball back and shot. Nico and I always speak about how we want to combine on the pitch. This time, I ran behind and Nico gave me the ball. I want to thank him for the pass because he was joking with me."
Neto reflected on his team's performance and their upcoming game against Flamengo on Friday night. "I'm happy to help the team, we worked well together. The team did a great job, coming here and performing well. I'm focused on my own role and here to help the team."
He also spoke about new signing Liam Delap, who provided a well-placed cross to Enzo Fernandez in the second half. "I've trained with him a few times, and he's a player who is here to help. We're delighted he's joined us, and he's shown his character."
Neto expressed his happiness with the team's performance and their desire to continue their form in the competition.
