tie was fair.

“Tactically it was the game we imagined. I think identical to how we imagined him, in how he was going to attack and defend. Except for some actions where the rival has hierarchy, we then control the game with the ball. It’s difficult when the opponent defends the goal well and I think we tried. Now there is one more game left and there, on their court, it is going to be different. “I have to review the game, see if there are any details to correct, change some nuances to surprise the opponent.”said Martin Anselmi.

“We knew it wasn’t going to be easy. I think that in general terms we were superior to the rival. They came to defend themselves and come out against it. We played a good game and we hope to close it in the best way on Sunday. The game was even, we were superior because we contained the ball. Sometimes you end up in a bad position because you risk attacking people. We leave with a bitter taste, giving people joy”were the words of the Argentine defender Gonzalo Piovi.

It was a fair draw and it leaves everything open.”were the statements of Carlos Rotondi.
