Carlos Cuesta spoke at the end of the match:
'We're disappointed with the result but especially for our fans. We have to start from the basics, rediscovering what made us be competitive and allowed us to express ourselves properly.
I take responsibility and we must keep working to continue and correct the things that didn't work today.
We know how important Sunday's game is. We will need to prepare in the best possible way using our desire to react'.
Mandela Keita shared his thoughts after the game:
'I want to apologise to the fans because they don't deserve this sort of result. We have to be more organised, with or without the bar and continue emphasising our positive attributes.
We always want to win and we take to the pitch with this objective, but we know what football is like. We need to hold our heads high, work even harder and look forward.'
