Almada highlights Cruz Azul defensive approach after loss

In an interview after the first leg of the Final, Santos Uruguayan manager Guillermo Almada reflected on his team's defeat at the hands of Cruz Azul:

"We played a great match, we created the best chances throughout the match but Cruz Azul found a fortuitous goal, while they dedicated themselves to defending their goal for much of the match, trying to hamper our offensive game; we created a couple of chances in the beginning of the match but weren't able to finalize them, and we kept looking to score but we need to recognize the great defensive work rate Cruz Azul had. We still have 90 minutes where we'll constantly keep trying to find goals, I'll need to make some adjustments because it is not easy when you have to break through against a team with so many players defending".

He finished by saying that they'll need to be much more cynical and precise with their chances if they want to be able to beat Cruz Azul and win the title.
