"THERE ARE MANY THINGS WE NEED TO CRITICIZE"
Evaluating the defeat, Fernando Muslera said, "It's a match to forget. We didn't play from start to finish. We couldn't finish well. The opponent came at our goal from all sides. There was always a chance. Now we will play at home. We need to be strong mentally there. There are many things we need to criticize ourselves about, and we will do that. What's done is done. We need to focus on the next match."
