What They're Saying
Atlas manager Tomas Boy (via Record): "The game [on Thursday] wasn't good. It was medium, mediocre on both sides. They threw long balls. We were trying to retain the ball. We made erratic passes. I was satisfied with my team. It's about winning the competition and we have to use all the resources. Monterrey is a team, that in their house, came out to defend, to throw long balls."
Monterrey manager Carlos Barra (via Vavel): "We know how had the game was. We lacked a little more clarity and intensity. The effort was made. We will always keep coming. We must continue to insist, regaining confidence and avoid exceeding the objective. We lacked a little more profoundness in the final third. We have the players."
