In the second half, we chased the game, got a draw, and with one minute left, a foul for them there, a rebounded ball in the area, they managed to make it 3-2. On Thursday, we already have a game against a strong Praia team in Uberlândia, we will focus on the next game and that's it, life goes on,” he said.
