After this decision, the coach of Saints Guillermo Almada noted that playing so much extra time and also receiving a goal generates frustration because his team had withstood the onslaught of his rival until they were completely met with the play of the penalty after a hand of Matheus Doria.
“You should ask Dante (Elizalde, Club President) on the steps to be taken, but it is frustrating. The other day the same thing happened in a legal goal and if it was legal, it was illegal to Blue Cross a la Final. But well, these are situations that we are used to living and hopefully for the good of football to improve, to me it left me satisfied with the performance of the team and the constant search, we have good players, it was a great match just a pity the closing as it was given, “he expressed Almada.
“I insist again, the penalty was scored at 12 or 13 minutes discount in a similar play that he let go and we were left with a bad feeling because we played a great game, if they beat us well there is no problem. congratulations Lion because he has a great team, he has been looking for permanently, an attractive match came out, unfortunately the closing was very bad from the point of view of decisions. probably it will be the board that will have to deal with this”.

“With all due respect I don’t agree, apart from the referees I don’t speak. I dedicate myself to analyzing my team’s game to see how we can continue to grow as such.”
