As Toronto FC continues to struggle with options at full-back, Auro Jr. has finally gotten his first taste of action back in his native land of Brazil.
After just under a month since signing on a season-long loan from TFC, the 26-year-old made his Santos debut in a thrilling penalty shootout win over Fluminense-PI in the second round of the Copa Do Brasil.
With Santos 1-0 down at the break, Auro was brought on as a halftime substitute and saw his side score an 82nd-minute equalizer to force extra time and penalties. He may have not taken a spot kick, but it was quite the game for Auro to make his return to soccer in Brazil.
