The goalkeeper, in fact, made beautiful saves in one-on-one with the Juventus forwards, including Júnior Santos, on two occasions. However, he did not avoid the negative result and spoke of moving on to the next round.
“Of course we came here looking for a win, but those at home saw a great game. Both teams played forward, ahead. It was a great game. There’s a lot of championship ahead and a lot of things to happen. Nobody likes to lose, but we’ll keep going,” said the Alviverde goalkeeper as he left the pitch.
