Javier Aguirre, acknowledged this Sunday that his team was duty-bound in attack by not taking advantage of three clear plays to score. He also regretted that the duel was interrupted by a ground storm, usual in Torreón, the venue of the meeting, although he clarified that this difficulty was not the cause of the defeat.
“I’m going upset because the goal he came from a corner kick and we defend well, they can’t finish us off like that “, said the strategist, critical of his defenders for the oversight in the mark that left Doria free to decide the party.
