He said, "Very happy to be in the semifinals. We took it very seriously; we knew it wouldn't be easy. Cup matches aren't decided until the very end. They found a goal, and it's normal for them to come at you in the final minutes.

"The team knew how to handle it well. We're in the semifinals, and that's what's important.

"We came in with a lot of seriousness and dominated the whole game. I'm happy for this team, we're in another semifinal."

On his goal, which proved the winner on the night, Araujo added: "Very happy, I thank God. Glad because we're working well, and so is the club. I want to thank my teammates and the manager.

"Very happy because I feel better every day."
