After the match, Carlos Cuesta said: “We struggled in the first half but performed better in the second. We took more risks to take the game in the direction we wanted. Our objective was to win, and we kept trying until the final whistle. Both teams had opportunities to take the lead. We need to accelerate our progress and become more competitive with every game.”
Emanuele Valeri added: “It’s an important point. We started well but then dropped a little deeper and conceded. We raised our level during the opening 20 to 25 minutes of the second half and found the equaliser. We can take heart from our second-half response. We’re on the right track and need to keep going. Our attitude was right in both halves, although when you expend so much energy, you can naturally pay for that effort towards the end.”
