Madelón: We’ll take it one match at a time, we’re a solid side | OneFootball

Unión made River fight hard for their victory. They played them as equals, could have won, could have lost, but in the penalty shootout, Franco Armani was the hero who sent River into the quarterfinals of the Copa Argentina, while Tate bowed out leaving a good impression, regardless of the result. After 90 minutes, it was 0-0, but in the penalties, the Millonario won 4-3.

After the elimination, Leonardo Madelón spoke at the press conference: “It was a very dignified match, I think we controlled River quite well. At the end, when they got tired, they had some clear chances. Penalties are penalties, but it was honorable. I want to thank the people from Santa Fe, those who came. We have a team, we’re hurt, but there will be another chance.”

“At halftime we talked, we still hadn’t done what we know how to do. We understood the match in the final minutes, River couldn’t find alternatives, we finished the match with a good image, we ended well. It’s positive, we’re out, but with River that can happen,” he added.

On the other hand, he said: “For us, it’s going to be game by game, it’s a serious team. In the end, we didn’t lose the match, we were eliminated on penalties. We mustn’t forget to keep adding points, we need to get out from the bottom. That’s our goal, we’re getting to know the players little by little. We could have had more points in the tournament, the team is competing to win.”
