Analysis of the Match
“The only thing that matters in football is production. If we play in our upcoming matches like we did in the first 15 minutes, with the same organized posture we displayed in the second half, we will start having balanced games and earning points again.

We’ve lost control of the midfield; every ball that ended up there led to an attack against us. The issues are very clear: we need to produce to deserve results,” analyzed Menezes.

Controversial Goal
