We have to continue improving and be a more mature team, I am responsible for not having made more changes.”
After all, everything ended 2-2 and Boca wasted the possibility of being a pointer from his area A and the annual table. Now his great challenge is to hold the initial time and find that solidity of mature team that lacked in the final half hour.
