Moisés Villarroel said the match was decided late, when Blooming pushed forward seeking an equalizer and conceded twice. But he also accepted that the team had played poorly in the first half and had allowed a set-piece goal.

“Both teams did not create many scoring chances,” Villarroel said, describing the match as even for much of its course. He urged the squad to remain composed and respond quickly: “We are aware that we are in a slump and we will get back up, because that is what the club and its fans demand, and because it is our obligation.”
