After equality, DT Carlos Bustos expressed his analysis. “These are intense matches, obviously the rival was better in the first half, but we tried to balance it in the second and luckily we quickly reached a draw,” he said at a press conference.

“Afterwards I think it was a game in which neither team speculated, we went for the result. Surely a little more precision was needed to be able to have more goal situations, we also had some near the end, ”he mentioned.

“I think it is the most difficult group of all, with very good teams, obviously we are down in the table, we are not as we would like. We still have the chance to fight and if it is not enough for the Libertadores, we still have the chance to host Fortaleza, which is 3 points up”, he added.
