The biggest plus, apart from 3 pts of course, in this match was a solid display of Mateo finally. Probably, the meeting Mantzio-Mateo gave fruits, plus certain tactical adjustments agreed between the two. Nevertheless, it was good to see him involved more in the game.

Garcia goes on to lose 45 consecutive matches but his takedowns during the post game interviews saves his job every time hahaha

The match was lost due to the fact that Mantzios wasn't brave enough to keep putting Bertoglio over Sasha from the start, plus Lopez probably was a better option in this match to start at ST. Was not necessary to put 3 C(D)Ms without a central creative AM for this one, since his job was safe whatever result it was destined to be, but with less pusy midfield approach in the first half could make him even bigger hero not losing to Oly eventually, and making play more AMs from the start. I said that for a ST position (Lopez over Mano), assuming that Larisa match still didn't happened and Manos didn't score 2. Regardless, I still consider Lopez a smarter player, but not necessarily a better striker, let me not be misunderstood.
