Paunovic He admitted that he considered taking the French striker out of the match after his mistake, but he did not do so after his goal.

“André fixed things and that shows his leadership skills, his ability to overcome adversity and fix an issue that was complicating things for us because we can’t start like this.”

The coach accepted that the feline team let down its guard and that caused them to not be able to keep the three points at home.

“We let our guard down and it’s a self-criticism that we have to improve. This result will help us prepare and think about the match we have on Sunday against Pumas. It’s a long week but we have to take advantage of it and rest well and prepare as best as possible,” he said.
