What They're Saying
Santa Fe manager Gustavo Costa (via El Dia): "We have to be very smart because we advance with one goal. We have to find it, but not leave ourselves exposed to space. [We will] try to pressure them, play a dynamic game and not play desperate because we're one goal from elimination. This is the Copa Libertadores. If we have to score, we'll score, but we're going to play our game without going crazy. We have 90 minutes to overturn this [2-1] deficit."
Estudiantes manager Gabriel Milito (via AS): "We came [to Colombia] with the intentions of scoring a goal. It's important because it's a mistake if we only focus on protecting this tiny lead. We will try to play the way we have been. The objective is to score a goal and not concede one. It's a game where anything can happen, but that's basically our game plan."
