“Before the play, I didn’t understand what we needed. Tomás (Araújo) and António (Silva) were saying ‘one more, one more,’ and I was like, ‘what?’ But then I saw everyone telling me to come up. I also saw the coach, so I came up, went into the box and I don’t know… I don’t know what to say. It was a crazy moment. There was a similar moment against FC Porto, I was so close. Now I’ve done it. I don’t know what to say. I’m not used to scoring. I’m 24 and it’s the first time. Incredible,” Trubin told reporters after the match.
