One of the people who spoke after the final whistle was Carlos Lobatón, who, despite the heavy defeat suffered by his beloved team, remained calm and believes they will face the remaining matches in a better way.

"There are still games to play, and although we don't like to lose at this stage, the boys have the mentality to overcome this. It's game by game," said Carlos Lobatón after the match in the imperial city.

"I apologize to the Cristal fans for today's result. There are many theories about the defeat, but the responsibility is entirely mine, for the tactics, changes, and everything that happened on the field. I will never blame a player for the defeat. Cristal is a team that always plays, does it well, and today none of this happened. I apologize again to our people, as the coach, I take responsibility and it is my job to take care of my players," commented Nunes.
