■About this game

Kovac said: "As we expected, I said before the game started, Monterrey is a very good team. They played very well in the second half. I think we performed well in the first half and could have scored one or two more goals."

"The second half was complicated, but we defended well at the critical moment because the opponent put a lot of pressure. They scored one goal, but I don't think they had a lot of scoring chances in the second half."
