The second and third goals for the local team came after two misses vesga Y Nico Williams. “Football is a game of mistakes. You have to make sure that the opponent does them. It was also because Real pressed hard and stole the ball from us. The opponent encourages you to do this, which is to Real’s credit. They are strong here.

Now we have to think about the next game”.

There may be mistakes in the matches, but we have to encourage them to be opponents and not to us”, he concluded.
