Juan Francisco Palencia, Mazatlán coach, stated that the approach he made allowed him to dominate Pumas, since he knew he had to nullify the attacking options of the felinos, especially because they have the leading goal scorer like Juan Dinenno.
"Pumas is a big team, we dominated them well at times, we generated goal opportunities, I think we are progressing step by step, every match, and the team will have the potential to compete against any team," he said at a press conference after the game.
In addition, the 'Gatillero' confessed that the result did not leave him satisfied since they knew they could have more chances to win the three points.
"The feeling is that we took a point that doesn't taste like much to us, we wanted the victory. Pumas defended well, we tried to open them up, until the second half when Sansores and Camilo came on, we managed to have more goal opportunities, we had a bit more depth and we were able to break through those two lines of four," he explained.
Likewise, Palencia has no doubt that his team will accumulate more points and will be among the top positions to qualify for the Guard1anes 2020 playoffs.
"If we make an assessment of the season so far, we have a very high ball possession average, we are one of the teams that finishes many plays, I think the team is gradually improving their level of play every day, I think the team knows perfectly well what they are playing, the team will be in playoff positions very soon," he concluded.
