Top scorer of the season Coritiba, with 14 goals, Robson scored again for Alviverde after a month. The number 30 came on in the second half and opened the scoring in the 3-1 victory over Ceará, in the 27th round of Série B. The striker also participated in the play that led to Júnior Brumado’s goal, the team’s second.

Coxa had a lot of difficulty attacking in the first half, which started with Robson on the bench, even though he was returning from suspension. Without any offensive success, coach Jorginho opted to bring on the number 30 at the start of the second half.

In a short time on the field, the player has already made a difference and given more speed to the attack. In the 14th minute, the striker took a free kick at the edge of the box and opened the scoring at Couto Pereira.

“Whoever comes in, whoever starts, has to always give their best and today the teacher made a choice. We have to accept it, we have to respect it. And today I was happy to come in and help. I was happy to beat it, we train a lot,” he said, in an interview with Transamerica Radio at the end of the game.

Four minutes later, Robson participated in Júnior Brumado’s goal, the second for Alviverde. The number 30 passed to Lucas Ronier who provided the assist for Brumado, who was in front of the goal. Coxa also extended their lead with midfielder Matheus Frizzo, who also came off the bench in the second half of the game.

“Now there are 11 games and as long as we are alive and have a percentage [de chance para o acesso]we will fight until the end. In the first half, we didn’t attack the space much and it was comfortable for them. And, with my entry, I was able to attack the line more, that’s what the coach asked for”, Robson added.
