“Today it was difficult for us to generate scoring situations, but throughout the Cup we generated many. There were changes expected before the match, because many minutes of play were added,” he admitted before focusing on the match played in Santa Fe.
It was difficult for Boca to reach their rival’s goal, beyond the eight minutes of extra time, the period in which they entered Nicolás Campisi’s area the most.
“We faced an opponent who offered us duels and in those duels it was difficult for us to resolve. Unión was superior in the first half and in the second they were a bit equal, but we were never able to play as we would have liked “I wanted to,” Martínez was sincere.
In any case, the coach considered that, due to the development of the indicated game, Unión did not seem to have any chance of obtaining, as in the end, the three points.
“Even though it was more balanced thanks to what was done in the second half, it seemed like it would be difficult for both of us to convert. Overall, I think it was our worst match and when you don’t play well, if you lose, it’s okay to feel that way,” she stressed during the conference.
The Xeneize ended a short winning streak in San Fe, with one draw and one win in their previous appearances. In this way they lost the possibility of entering the qualifying zone for the quarter-finals. They will have that chance on Sunday, when they host Racing at 9.30pm.
