Millonarios went blank against Fluminense, in the first leg of the second phase of the Copa Libertadores, losing at home 1 to 2. David Macallsiter Silva, captain of the team, spoke at the end of the match, about the impressions and what the defeat left in Bogota.
Lost option from the penalty: I don’t think we haven’t converted for so long, two months ago we scored from a penalty. That is not the amount of time, unfortunately we have made a mistake and he touched me. It would have changed history. There are 90 minutes left and with 11 players we prove it, we can change history.
Decision to kick the collection: I’m going to put a phrase by Juan Manuel Lillo, after seeing, everyone is ready. After Herazo, I had converted after several had failed. He brought the confidence that the last penalty had converted him.
Sadness within the group: Without a doubt it hurts, because we wanted to make people happy, to start winning at home. It has to hurt us, I think that this is where you see the strength of a group, the union. We have a strong group and a fan that supports us. We will go to Brazil to turn it around, without a doubt we have to mourn and work tomorrow for what is coming.
Superiority of the rival: they made a difference when we were left with 10, the first 20 minutes I did not notice. There are many young players who had their first Copa Libertadores game, but they were up to the task.
Message to the fans: We are sorry, we wanted to win, but they know that they have a group that will give everything in Brazil.
