We remember this fact as if it were today. São Paulo and Gauchos will have a preliminary meeting at Parque Antártica. When the Pampas team appeared, there was something of a surprise in the crowd. The goalkeeper from Rio Grande do Sul was weird. Very tall, thin, with a slow and somewhat disjointed walk. Everyone laughed. Is that the one who would oppose the terrible shots from Formiga, Neco, Friendereich, Tatu and Rodrigues? Which... wasn't possible!

The game started. In the first minute, no one else thought about finding favor. The thing is, Fried, the great Fried, had picked up a ball at the penalty spot and kicked it violently into the left corner. The public was automatically on its feet to applaud the goal that would be the start of a great series. El Tigre had never missed a shot in those conditions. The applause came... but for Lara who, like a tiger, a feline curled up on the floor with the ball held. From then on, he began to focus all the attention. The São Paulo team won 4 x 2, but what a fight! Lara had saved more than 20 shots. Excited. He won over the audience who, in the end, invaded the field to carry him on their shoulders.

Finally, on the sixth of November the following, less than two months later, Eurico Lara, the greatest goalkeeper Brazil had, an example of dignity, technique, love for the club, patriotism, kindness, energy and courage, idol of sportsmen, pride of his family, vanity of the gauchos, passed away at the age of 37 at Benciência Portuguesa.
