- Universidad de Chile coach Fernando Gago said his team made major mistakes in its defeat to Universidad de Concepción.
- Gago said uneven bounces and misplaced passes affected both teams, while acknowledging that he could not decide whether the match should have been suspended.
- He said his message about continuing to fight for the title had not changed.
Fernando Gago blamed “very big mistakes” for Universidad de Chile’s defeat to Universidad de Concepción, while also pointing to the condition of the pitch at Ester Roa.
The coach said the ball bounced badly in several areas and that his players lost possession while trying to play in ways they were not accustomed to on the surface. He linked those errors to Universidad de Concepción’s scoring chances.
We made very big mistakes.
Gago said the pitch influenced both teams. He added that he would have made the same assessment had Universidad de Chile won, but said it was not his place to decide whether the field had been suitable for the match to be suspended.
Asked about his insistence that the team should keep competing for the title, Gago said his message remained the same as it had been two weeks earlier.
The playing surface influenced both teams.
