Mario García spoke after the defeat in the first leg at the Azulgrana stadium; "I want to ask them to play soccer and put on a show. At the end of the day we are working to reach the First Division. I want my kids to be champions by playing beautiful football. People may think I'm a talker, but those who know about soccer can see that. I would love for them to be crowned with a cup this Sunday because they deserve it. We're going to fight for it with everything we've got.

"I really applaud these guys, the project and the fans. Many players may not want to come again, but it doesn't matter. If we have to call for an open tryout as of Monday, we will do it".

"We understand and know that this is a business and the decisions have been made for a reason. They are people who are looking for the good of our soccer, obviously it hurts because it is two years of effort and illusions, but we have to continue working from our trench, there is no other way to make our league become top."

"With three, four reinforcements, without fear, I'll stand up to Tigres, I'll stand up to Rayados, to América and we'll play a match, put on a show and improve Mexican soccer with our help as a competitive rival. it may be pretentious or crazy, but we are working to create a base of young, good players who are prepared to move up to the first division and the team only needs a few additions to fight in the top category".

The first leg was quite busy in terms of incidents that had nothing to do with the course of the match. First of all, there were problems with the lighting, which delayed the start of the second half for a long time, as part of the stadium remained without light.  At the end of the match, Atlético de Morelia and Ricardo Valiño were unable to enter the dressing room until half an hour after the final whistle, as the local fans were throwing things onto the field and prevented them from passing, the coach was unable to make a statement at a conference due to the time lost on the field.
