“I was pleased with the outcome and our performance tonight, despite the difficulties we encountered for so many minutes of the game.” We played and controlled the majority of the game well enough.”

Matias Vina’s efforts in replacing Roger Ibanez in the defense were also lauded by the Special One. Due to stomach issues, the Brazilian centerback was forced to withdraw from the game at the last minute.

“There were some outstanding individual performances.” Vina had a fantastic game, I’m happy to report. He works harder than anyone else and has a lot of heart. He hasn’t been happy since he arrived, so I’m pleased to say he delivered a stellar performance.”
