"We were not very decisive. We didn't create too many chances either. We knew that Libertad was a great opponent, especially on the counterattack. They know what they're doing. They scored two or three times, they were effective. They take away three valuable points for this competition," he said in an interview with ESPN.
He added: "Maybe we deserved a little more. I won't deny that we had chances that we could have scored. The goal that was disallowed as well. We have to keep working, we have two more matches left. They are two finals for us and we have to seek qualification. Mineiro will be a tough opponent, the group has become very competitive."
It should be noted that Hernán Barcos came on in the second half of the match against Libertad, replacing Colombian striker Pablo Sabbag. However, the emblematic 'Pirate' did not manage to score for the victorian squad on this occasion.
