Matías Almeyda, Chivas coach, said that the victory is good for them because it mathematically puts them in the Liguilla, but he pointed out that the early goal hit them hard because they did not expect such an early blow.

"We were somewhat nervous or imprecise, but keeping the formula, the opponent had players who stole, passed, and arrived, that made it complicated, we came from a defeat, so it was important to win the game. Now it's time to think about the Copa on Wednesday."

How do you feel after this victory?

"A difficult win with a goal at the start of the game, but the players' willingness got them into the game, they equalized and it was an open match, the opponent was obligated to win, no mistakes and achievements from both teams, but it was important for us to win."

Regarding the substitution of Michel Pérez, the coach pointed out that he took out Tortas because he made some mistakes and that Gallo Vázquez is working very hard to take Pérez's place in midfield.

"The substitution of Michael Pérez was because I didn't see him like in other games, I saw him imprecise, far from marking, and Gallo is asking for a chance, when one's level drops, there is another one to lift it up. Tomorrow we will think about the opponent, who has one of the most successful coaches in Mexican football."

Finally, Matías added that he has to be critical, it wasn't the best game, but the three points were necessary and had to be won at all costs.

"There are ways and I observe them and then draw conclusions, the game was won, the manner was not how we were used to playing, we have to be self-critical, but today there were good and bad things, but we were able to win. Today they already feel how nice it is to win and lift the trophy, we want God to help us win the Copa."
