That’s it from me, thanks for reading.

Enzo Maresca has been speaking: “Today, we started the right way, scored the goal but then we conceded two. The first one when they had 10 players. We can avoid both goals. In their box, we need to be more clinical.

“The intention was to rest Moises [Caicedo], Enzo [Fernandez], Malo [Gusto] and more players. They are not able to play every three days. The Club World Cup affected a lot. We tried to rotate.”

On Lavia’s injury: “It’s a shame for him. He is not able to be fit for a long period, we will see, it is too early to understand what kind of injury. We hope it is not a big injury, I think it is a quad.”

He has some serious questions to answer after his team’s wild oscillations in that game. Still, that’s likely a valuable point and total embarrassment was avoided.
