“After the game, Neymar was in the dressing room. I went to give him a hug because he is an idol for all of us. He congratulated me on the match, which made me very happy. It shows that I'm on the right path”, Araújo told FlaTV.
“It was a great goal, I spent the whole night rewatching the video. This finish is not easy to get right, but I was very happy. We practice a lot of finishing and crossing plays. We have Bruno Henrique and Pedro, who are very strong in the air. Thank God it's working. I'm very happy to score a goal and help Mengão.”

With two goals from Luiz Araújo, Rubro-Negro resumed the leadership of the Brazilian Championship Series A, equaling Bahia's 17 points, but surpassing the Bahian team on goal difference.

Everton Cebolinha underwent imaging tests on Thursday (14), which did not reveal any injuries. However, the attacker still feels discomfort in his right leg and, therefore, will be spared from the clash with Athletico-PR.
On the other hand, Igor Jesus' situation is more serious. The player suffered a confirmed sprain and will be sidelined for approximately three to four weeks. With this, the midfielder joins Rubro-Negro's list of absences during the Copa América period.
