The opponent didn't have many opportunities but scored a wonderful goal, and it was difficult for us to score because Roman performed very well and the goal was delayed... Finally, when we equalized the score, we knew we could strive for victory. They had a one-on-one opportunity saved by me, and Vallejo assisted Ramon to score, which was the best thing.

We have limited staff now, and everyone has to play for 90 minutes... It's not easy, but we always maintain our belief. The team badge on us requires us to fight until the last moment. Although the points gap is large, we will stick to our belief until the theoretical possibility of losing the championship."
