Ismael Rescalvo spoke before the match: "Your thinking is very negative, radical and misguided. First, we have the match on Tuesday and second, when you give everything and do everything possible to win and you try and don't succeed, that's part of the game."

"The match was very intense, we looked to refresh the lines, the opponent has very good players with good feet and that demanded on the defensive part, it was a very high demand".

"We lacked continuity. When you play with 5 players who are not usually starters, sometimes it's hard for them to get together 100%. I think at the end we went for the goal in the second half, we had a very clear opportunity to make it 1-0 before they did. When you go on the attack and go for the goal and leave spaces, a team with quality like Católica can take advantage of it".
