He also explained how a match he had considered evenly balanced until then got away from them, saying that “we had it under control and with the first chance they got, unfortunately, they scored. Then we pushed forward more to look for the equalizer, they found spaces, and the second goal came.”

His stance on the refereeing

On the other hand, Rasmussen chose to be cautious when asked about the controversial calls and Echenique’s performance, saying “I didn’t see it. I’d rather not give an opinion or talk about the referee and instead focus on what we can correct and improve ourselves.”

His return to Mendoza and his current commitment

The match also carried extra emotional weight for the defender, who belongs to the Mendoza club and was insulted by the home fans. In response, the player acknowledged that “the fans have the right to express themselves. I have great affection for the club,” recalling that he always gave everything during his time in Mendoza.

Finally, he delivered a firm message about his current commitment by stating that “my present is here,” making it clear that El Sabalero must react quickly to make up ground in the six remaining matchdays of the regular phase.
