Leones Negros Statements

Alfonso Sosa spoke about what he saw in the first leg: "I think so, according to the options they gave us, they were superior, they were clear and if we could have conceded one or two more goals, we could also have scored some goals, we had some one-on-one situations against the goalkeeper, some others as well, especially in the first half, we had a play where the goalkeeper was able to defend quite well, but in general they were a much better team than us".

Leones Negros Statements

Jesús Henestrosa spoke before this match: "We ended frustrated, sad about the result because we know we could have done more, but it was a bad match and now we are 100% motivated to do our best in the second leg.... Mentally we are preparing ourselves because we know that tomorrow is going to be a match in which our heads will be very important". "We have to fight as hard as we can and why not think big, we are aware of the situation and I think we have to do a very intelligent job, very thoughtful to be able to get the result. Everything seems to indicate that we are uphill, but I believe we have a competitive team that can achieve great things, so we are going to work hard and give it our faith".
