“We probably deserved to get all three points for what we did with one man down… in the second half I think we were better than them with what we were able to do.”
The impact of the sending-off: “A lot, because in today’s football, being one player down is a major difference. I think the team handled it well and at times it didn’t even show.”
Support for Matías Godoy: “It can happen to anyone, they’re mistakes, we can all make them. He’s hurting more than anyone, so we have to support him; we’re a team and we’re here to stand by each other.”
“Today, when things got tough, the team showed character again… we got through a complicated match against an opponent that plays well.”
“The team understands the club it’s at, what’s at stake, and what the fans demand. We pushed forward, we tried to go and win the match.”
“There are situations we’re going to face throughout the tournament, and we have to adjust. Today we handled it well and that gives us confidence.”
