Further efforts in home and away victories against CS Pandurii Târgu Jiu allowed Matos to finish his first European campaign with three goals from eight games, though his most memorable appearance was a fixture in which he did not get on the scoresheet. "The game which really changed my season was the one at Dnipro," he explained. "It was my first start and I played well in a very difficult game which we won 2-1. I earned a penalty, and kind words from my coach."
