Both Diego Leon and Matheus Cunha made their highly-anticipated debuts and delivered encouraging performances.
Diego Leon started the game and showed great energy and pace on the flanks. He was active in attack, sending in dangerous crosses and linking up well with teammates. Defensively, he held his position well and contributed to tracking back. While his final delivery still needs refining, Leon’s overall display was promising in his 60 minutes on the pitch.
Matheus Cunha entered at halftime and immediately injected life into the attack. His movement off the ball was sharp, creating space and drawing defenders. Cunha nearly marked his debut with a goal but was denied by a smart save. He also showcased his playmaking abilities, delivering a precise through ball that nearly led to a goal. Cunha finished strongly, giving fans a glimpse of his quality.
Both debutants left a positive impression and are expected to feature more prominently in upcoming matches.
