“In these high altitude conditions that are hard for us, it was to be organized, to be calm, to close the spaces for Tigres and for that in the second half we tried with fast men on the wings to do damage and I think that the good work we did caught up with us. There are still things to correct, more because of the height issue that the player feels,” said coach Diego Corredor.
