Athletic took the win by 1 to 0 over the Libertad, from Paraguay, and secured the early classification in the Liberators. The score was moved only in the second half, one minute after the changes. One of them was Christian's entrance, who barely touched the ball and already shook the nets.
"We knew the difficulty we were going to face. I praise the resilience power of our players. We have a very qualified cast, and Christian's entry, who made the goal, we needed a player between the lines, he knows how to play on his back and has a ball retention, a characteristic different from what we had," explained coach Paulo Turra, who celebrates Hurricane's moment in the season.
"Paranaense champions undefeated, in the fourths of the Copa do Brasil, we achieved the ranking in Libertadores, is a good time. We have to maintain regularity", he completed.
