Chivas earned their first two points in the 2025 Leagues Cup by drawing with Charlotte FC and winning the penalty shootout after the match, where they deserved more in terms of play, but where specific plays cost the Rojiblanco team in the final result.

Despite the bittersweet feeling of the experience at Bank of America Stadium, Rebaño coach Gabriel Milito reflected on the result and the performance of his players. The Argentine highlighted his team's approach and courage in seeking the result, emphasizing on more than one occasion that this is the way to achieve the objectives set for this semester, as well as reaffirming the commitment of each member of the squad.

"On the one hand, the team's performance was very good throughout the 90 minutes, with a great collective effort in attack and defense. On the other hand, we do everything we can to achieve the result we want, which is to win, but once again we are struggling to get the three points."

"I think the team deserved to win the game. We dominated, we had chances, we defended well for long periods, playing one-on-one with very fast forwards."

"The performance was very high throughout the game and the result, in my opinion, was totally undeserved. Mistakes and fouls are punishing us too much at the moment. It happened to us in the debut and it happened to us today, but we will keep moving forward."

"I'm confident about the game, confident that the team is competing the way I like, that it has courage, that it attacks and often imposes itself on its opponents, as was clearly the case today."

"Unfortunately, the result that would have been fair today did not happen. That often happens in soccer, but playing this way, I am sure we will win many games."

"We needed to win after the first defeat, and the team played to win, with a winning mentality. We dominated the game, but unfortunately not the result. Obviously, this is something we need to review so that it doesn't happen again."

We have to accept reality and continue to look forward with confidence, but I am satisfied with the performance, attitude, and courage with which they played today.

"The changes were made due to the passage of time, tiredness, and fatigue. In some positions, we were forced to make them; we needed freshness. But the draw, in my opinion, has absolutely nothing to do with the changes."

"It's true that we are paying too high a price for our losses and fouls at the moment, because that's how the first goal against us and the draw came about, which I think were the only two shots on goal. Maybe there was another one, but we were in control of the game at all times."

"Overall, we have sustained our attack very well, and the boys, defensively, have played a sensational game in terms of effort, organization, and winning duels against very good forwards. That's my point of view."

"We are in a rebuilding phase. We haven't been together long, and the team is already performing well. That's how the preseason went, and that's how our first four competitive games went."

"Obviously, we need to keep competing to improve. There's always room for improvement, of course, but it's one thing not to be able to win and leave a bad taste in your mouth, and another thing to leave a good impression and not get the result."

"For me, it's not the same to play badly and win or draw as it is to play well. In the long run, in soccer, playing this way will get us many more wins than losses."

"We all want to win, but it's sport, and some win and others lose. We have to recognize that the team is doing well, even if the results are not what we expected. The team deserves to win, playing in a very defined way."

"We take everything very seriously and with a great deal of responsibility. We represent a very large institution. For me, it's important that training, preseason, and, of course, competitive matches go well."

"Whatever tournament we play, we take it very seriously and aim to win."

"Both in attack and defense, for me it was a very good game that we should have won. Unfortunately, it didn't happen."

"Guti' ended up very tired. It was too risky for him to play, so we decided to put Campillo in, who did very well."

"We will continue to insist on this way of playing, which the boys are understanding and doing very well."

"I review the mistakes, but I also take credit for all the merits and virtues we had today to win the game. But of course, if we analyze the result, it's one thing; if we analyze the game, it's another. I think we have to analyze both: the result, but also assess the team's intentions and play."
