“Yeah, thank you. Obviously, I’m very happy, very happy today. The team came into today on a really good run of form and on a good moment. So thankfully, we continued that tonight. Obviously really happy for the goal, but more than anything happy for the victory tonight and a really good performance from the team that was out there. We just continue to keep getting better and keep working as we advance to these last few games.”

On the importance of his goal in the second half

“Yeah, you know, during the week we studied them. We know they have a very particular way of marking, so during the week we really worked on trying to get around them, trying to find those spaces. And, you know, when those opportunities came, obviously when they were closing down on us, I knew that I had to find ways to get in behind them and to find the space in areas they weren’t, and thankfully we were able to do that and that first goal just really created the rest of the game for us.”

On his goal and the assist from Martín Ojeda

“Yeah, you know, as I said we had really worked on that play during the week just because of how they like to mark. So, you know, Martín [Ojeda] gave me just an incredible center, it was just right on point. It’s really difficult to not score a goal like that when it’s put on a platter like that. It’s a difficult play to finish off, overall, but when he plays it like that and when we had worked on it during the week, it was fantastic.”
