Vitinha's hopeful second-half strike took a fortuitous deflection and wrong-footed Nantes goalkeeper Anthony Lopes to break the deadlock in the 67th minute.

I was overwhelmed with emotion at that moment. I must say that it's very rare to see me cry like that, so I hope you enjoyed it! A lot of images that came to mind, in relation to what I went through.
