Esteban Vigo, manager of Hércules, was pleased with his team’s win, although he acknowledged that the important thing is “to make it to 41 points as soon as possible and, from that point, we’ll be able to look back. What’s clear is that we’re making things tough on our rivals.”

The head coach of the side from Alicante stated that he was “very angry about the goal we gave up to Atlético de Madrid in the final minutes. If you have to clear the ball down the field you do so.”
