“We played a match that I think was almost perfect. The boys played very well, we had very high individual levels on the field. We were organized, we countered Lanús’ game plan, knowing how they were going to attack us,” the coach began his analysis.

Along the same lines, he added: “I’m happy that the boys responded to adversity the way they did today, playing away with so many of our fans in the stands,” referring to the visiting crowd at La Fortaleza.
