And the response didn't take long... First, it was Neres, served by Grimaldo, in an excellent position, to miss the target; then... the most perfect homecoming one could imagine! In the 80th minute, Guedes received a pass from Enzo, lifted his head, believed, set his sights on the target, and shot in the box to make it 0-3.
