Catholic University achieved a deserved triumph against Porto Alegre International but she was convinced that it was not enough. Fernando Zampedri, the hero who scored the two goals, threw his mask when he found out that America from Cali had won in Brazil Guild and left them eliminated from everything. But what they did not count was that it had been an error in which they had to inform them and, much less, that the gaucho team would take a penalty at minute 101 of the game for a 1-1 that left UC in the South American Cup.
This is how the DT from the Strip said it, Ariel holan. “We couldn’t believe it. We had been told that America won. It was rare, but extremely joyous. I felt the feeling of enormous pain at the beginning, the footballers had made a tremendous effort, a great game taking into account not only the effort but also the hierarchy of the rival, their vertical, aggressive manner, with technique, with football. It was a task of enormous effort. Staying in nothing gave a deep sadness, “he commented at a press conference.
“Then we would go into the locker room and they tell us ‘Penalty for Guild’. We thought it was over. We don’t know why these things happen, but they happen. With Gremio’s goal, joy was already important. It is deserved to reach this stage, we wanted to go to the second round of the Libertadores, we had a group with three very tough teams and at the end of the balance it is good to have gone to the South American ”, he added.
Closing the topic, Holan said that “Nothing like this ever happened to me. We asked those who followed that game and they told us ‘it’s over, America won’. You take it for granted, you don’t ask again. Sometimes the signal in stadiums comes with a certain delay, I don’t know why they said that (laughs) ”.
Finally, the coach explained why he made no changes. “It is very difficult in a game of this size to make modifications. Not because the guys on the outside can’t do it well, but it’s not easy to get in in the final minutes and keep up. I did not see the team tired or a footballer below his level, they were doing a great game. I did not see that a change could modify what we wanted to do ”.
This Friday will be the draw for the South American Cup, where both Catholic University how Audax Italiano, Unión La Calera, Huachipato and Coquimbo Unido they will know their rivals.
