Despite the team's victory, which was not enough to advance in the Copa de la Liga, Giani praised the team's effort. "We played a great game. The result shows the way we came out, starting 1-0 down. Good associations were seen, it's positive, beyond being eliminated." He also reflected on a previous match where an agonizing draw against Ñublense in the final moments left a bitter taste, but stressed the importance of moving forward and focusing on the positive aspects of their play.

We played a great game. The result shows the way we came out, starting 1-0 down. Good associations were seen, it's positive, beyond being eliminated.

That last play... We have to turn the page, focus on the game we played, which was very good. Nothing can be done about the other.
