Scorer Lautaro Díaz hails Santos improvement despite defeat

Santos even opened the scoring, but surrendered the lead and were beaten 3-1 by Flamengo this Sunday at the Maracanã. Scorer of Peixe’s goal, Lautaro Díaz acknowledged the difficulty of the match, but highlighted the team’s improvement despite the setback.

“We knew it would be a difficult game, they are a good team. I think we managed to do our job well, but some mistakes we made allowed them to keep scoring. I think we have improved a lot and we will try to improve even more,” he told Ge TV.
