Julián Palacios after Boca goal: We let the win slip over details | OneFootball

The author of the Union cheer on April 15, Julián Palacios, analyzed the draw against the Xeneize with a mix of pride for the performance and self-criticism for the final result. For the midfielder, the team showed they were up to the task, although he regretted that the victory slipped away due to specific inaccuracies.

The Goal's Creation

Palacios recounted how the play that made Santa Fe erupt at the end of the first half was crafted: “Rafa (Profini) touched it, and I think the ball deflected a little. That allowed me to position myself, cut in, and then shoot,” he explained about his subtle half-turn finish that beat Marchesín.

Despite his personal joy, the midfielder was critical of the collective performance, especially in the second half: “These matches are very difficult; sometimes small details change the course,” he noted. He also outlined the roadmap for what's to come: “We must improve our handling of transitions and be calmer when we recover the ball.”

Suffering from the Sidelines

After being substituted in the second half by Santiago Grella, Palacios experienced the final stretch with his heart in his mouth: “When you have to come off, you suffer more. On the field, you live it differently, but from the outside, you feel it a lot,” he confessed about the minutes of Xeneize's siege that ended in the 1-1.

Although there was a sting from not maintaining the lead, the midfielder acknowledged the value of the point: “Perhaps we deserved a bit more, but earning a point against a rival like Boca is also important,”
