Juan Reynoso spoke after the narrow win against Forge: "We lacked that malice, that killer spirit to define games, because nobody forgives us, they come at us once or twice and score one or two goals. If we value those balls in the box and we are convincing, we would say that the qualification would be more on track, with the details of the game, everything is discussed, reviewed and with the video it will be clearer".

"Today, beyond the fact that this is a league that is in its first years, we all know each other, we knew it was going to be complicated and the wind was a factor, we couldn't get the ball out of play because they stay in the middle of the way, we didn't kill".

Goalkeeper Luis García spoke prior to this match: "I am happy with my recent performances, I think I have been improving over time. I am not satisfied with that, I want to continue working and I want to continue helping the team. the team is aware that by working together and with a winning mentality we are going to do great things".

"The truth is that I am happy and committed to the team to continue giving the best of me, so that they see the best version of Luis García. i believe that from here on out i will always give everything for these colors, for the shield. more than anything i work thinking about being a great at Club Toluca because it is a very big team, where the fans, the team, the owner deserves everything."

"We have to be strong at home. a very complicated team is coming and we have to go out to win, think about that, only about winning and I think the team is focused on that, at home we must not let points go, we are very aware of that".
