Mauro Pittón on 4-4 draw: "This is the way, but it still hurts" | OneFootball

The frenetic draw at the Libertadores de América left mixed feelings in the Unión squad. Although the team showed moments of high-level play, Independiente's comeback deeply affected the spirit of the "Tate".

Mauro Pittón, captain and leader, analyzed the collective performance with a bittersweet balance: "At times we played very well against an important rival. We imposed ourselves nicely, creating opportunities and with simplicity. One always wants all that to be reflected in the result, and that's why there's a lingering disappointment." Despite the outcome, the midfielder supported his teammates: "I leave feeling calm and proud of everyone, because the effort is evident day by day."

For the midfielder, the team's identity is solidified, although he admitted that the victory slipped away due to their own inaccuracies and the opponent's successes: "The team gave everything. For several matches, we have shown our best, wanting it all to be reflected in the result. It slipped away now because of a goal from another match and details we need to adjust." Far from dramatizing, Pittón sees these mistakes as part of the process: "Part of the journey is correcting mistakes. I go home calmly because I know this is the path."

With an eye on April 15, the captain sent a message to the fans ahead of the match against Boca: "The fans are unconditional. They are always there, and regardless of the results, we know we give everything so they feel identified." He closed his analysis with a declaration of intentions for what's to come: "We all feel the frustration of not taking the three points, but now we will go to play against Boca with the same eagerness."
