José María Giménez, who returned to the game of play, said: "We knew that Málaga would play a great match because they showed it in the first round match. Their coach knows us pretty well. He knows how to attack and defend from us. In the end we won and we are still in the fight." 

For his part, Correa commented: "It was a very hard game, we needed to win, whatever it took, and they played a great match, but we are happy with the win. Germán Burgos told me to play calmly as usual and that I was going to score and I dedicated it to him."
