After the match, the Brazilian coach André Jardine spoke to the media, indicating that the local factor should weigh.
“Pachuca is always intense, physically it is very good, the kids from 20 always come out intense and are already adapted, it is a strength of that club. We have our way and we will seek to prevail. I didn’t see Pachuca tired. We have confidence because of the campaign we did, because of how we played within Azteca, it is our home, we are more accustomed to our field. We don’t show our best version, but the local factor has to weigh, the home games must be decisive and we must be decisive.”he explained.

At a press conference, Guillermo Almada He seemed somewhat downcast because he was aware that they could have come out with a larger score, but they did not have the necessary forcefulness, stating that they came out to win.
“Congratulate the players for their dedication, their disposition, but the first half had to end at least with a lead of three or four goals, but unfortunately we failed with the effectiveness issue, it was expensive for us. He insisted again, there are 90 minutes left and we have to continue, at no time did we think that the key was going to be easy. So all that remains is to insist on going for victory. We don’t go out to tie, we go out to win. What better than defining a key at the Azteca Stadium, it is going to be an exciting match.
