Domínguez hails qualification | OneFootball

Coach Eduardo Domínguez highlighted the importance of Galo’s qualification for the Copa Sudamericana round of 16. The spot was secured with a 1-0 win over Puerto Cabello on Wednesday night at Arena MRV.

“Very happy to achieve a clear objective for the Club. The opponent came to play with a low block, breaking quickly, and that was what we faced throughout the match. We knew we would need patience. Despite the excitement and the fans’ urge to be winning within the first ten minutes, we knew it would be difficult,” the coach said.

Barba said the win and qualification can greatly help the team’s development and highlighted the support of the Massa throughout the 90 minutes.

“We can keep growing from an important qualification, from winning another game at home, with our fans, without conceding a goal, which is important. We hope this connection between the fans and the team continues,” he said.

The black-and-white commander noted that in the first half, Atlético had possession of the ball, but not effective control of the match, a situation that was corrected in the second half.

“With Dudu’s introduction, we gave ourselves more individuality out wide, also through the middle, and we tried to move the ball faster to find spaces,” Domínguez concluded.
