Fate brought them together a few days later, at the match between Santos and Coritiba in the Brasileirão. Lariane met up with the group of acquaintances from the previous game, and it was at this meeting that she and Rafael finally met.
At the end of the match, a chance encounter at a pizzeria sealed the couple's fate. Twelve years have passed since that day, eight of them married, and now they have two young Santos fans to increase the 'Peixão''s fan base.

On the day of the event, the two arrived at 4:00 p.m. and took a guided tour of the Memorial das Conquistas, the locker room and other areas of the Urbano Caldeira Stadium. The visit included a special meeting with the eternal idol Edu, Jonas Eduardo Américo, who played for 'Peixe' between 1966 and 1976.
The star player was responsible for presenting the couple with two official Peixe shirts directly in the stadium's locker room. After the meeting, Rafael and Lariane had a little of what the players felt like, putting on their jerseys, getting ready and going up the ramp to the pitch, just like on game days.

In the center of the field, there was not a ball, but a dining table, glasses and plates carefully set for an intimate dinner and lots of luck for the team they love.
At the time of the toast, the stadium's big screen broadcast photos and declarations of the couple to celebrate Valentine's Day.
To end on a high note, they watched the match between Fortaleza and Santos, for the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. The couple was “lucky” and saw 'Peixe' win the match 3-2.
According to Lariane, “it was truly an unforgettable day, all the surprise and affection the club had for treating ordinary fans like us was spectacular.”
Rafael says he is still recovering: “I still can't believe last night happened, it was indescribable, our lives are very connected to Santos and we are always at the games, it is an honor and we want to thank 7K and the club for this unique moment.”
