“We were all doing well around the goal, everyone was positive, and we were missing that finishing touch. The opponent plays too, and in two chances everything turned around on us,” Mosqueira said, while also praising the contribution of Lucas Menossi, who scored Unión’s goal. “I think we complement each other well, and we’re also happy about Lucas’s goal. It’s always important for the midfielders to contribute on their side as well,” he said.

The midfielder was asked about the inconsistency at the start of the tournament and the difficulties Unión had in holding onto favorable results, something that had already happened against Lanús. On that point, Mosqueira admitted that Central Córdoba’s goal hit the team hard and made it difficult to react quickly.

“I think it was a bucket of cold water at a moment we weren’t expecting, very early in the second half. Maybe it’s true that after the goal we dropped off,” the player explained.

Mosqueira also referred to the way Unión tries to defend and admitted they will have to work on correcting some details. “It’s also part of our way of playing, the way we defend, that we feel comfortable as a compact unit. But well, maybe we need to correct that point,” he said.

Finally, the midfielder stressed one of the main aspects Leonardo Madelón’s team will have to improve: knowing how to manage favorable moments and close out matches when they have the result in their favor. “We have to take responsibility when the score is in our favor,” he concluded.
