One of the players from the victorian team who had the opportunity to play the 90 minutes of the match was Ricardo Lagos, who analyzed what happened in Matute after the result, rescuing the point obtained despite not being so happy for not winning.
"It was an intense match for both teams, the victory was there for anyone. Each team managed the match in their own style and a draw, despite all the negatives, means we keep adding points, especially here at home we always want to add 3. One always wants more, wants to play better and have more clarity but we played against a great rival. Cristal has been having a very good year, it is commendable from both sides", he declared to the media.
For Lagos, the draw does not hurt the team
In the same line, the left back pointed out that both teams shared dominance in each half and that the point earned is good for the group of intimate players. "It was a half for each team. Each team showed its claws and a draw doesn't hurt the group at all, the good thing is not to lose. We always become strong at home", he added.
Complaints about the added time
Lagos did not miss the opportunity to complain about the referee of the match, Joel Alarcón, for not giving more added time since he considers that the match had many stoppages. "I think the game was stopped a lot and we wanted to play. I don't agree with the 5 minutes added, it was at least 7 minutes. The game was stopped too much", he said.
