"It was a difficult game. We played good in the first half but we struggled in the second. However, we won 1-0 and collected the three points." he"When the game does not go well for you, you must respond to what you see. It was a difficult situation, but we won. We took Luis Miquissone out to freshen up the team. We will be playing three games in seven days so we have to have some rest players.
"We decided to keep Percy Tau because he looked like he can score. Today he went in a one on one situation but the keeper blocked it. I think maybe he will score the next time."
