Diogo Costa: “Over time we didn’t manage the game well” | OneFootball

Diogo Costa, FC Porto's goalkeeper, in quick statements to BTV, after the 2-2 draw in the Classic against Benfica, at Luz, in the 25th round of the League:

FC Porto showed maturity, but faltered in the final minutes

«We started the game very well, with the right energy to want to change last year's game, we came in with the right attitude, winning duels, with personality. In the second half, we started well, but over time we didn't manage the game well, we lacked a bit more maturity. With the draw, everything stays the same.»

Role of the goalkeeper in game construction

«It's a style of play that, since the arrival of mister Farioli, he has implemented. I'm very happy to give that confidence in the build-up, which was always looking to attack and not to stall the game. We didn't manage well in the middle of the second half.»

The fight for the title continues

«Everything remains the same, we have to believe in our work, we are hard workers, we strive to work harder than our opponent. A bit frustrated by this draw, we deserved much more, but we continue in the fight.»

Benfica claimed a penalty in the last play
