"We were trying to figure out ways to get the desired result. To determine what we have to do to score and win. We were good in defence. And in the second half, Zaragoza of course went all out at La Romareda,” he kicked-off by saying about the 1-1 draw.

Natxo believes his team ended the match with good sensations: “I think we ended well, with the feeling we could have done some damage upfront, such as the action by Paulino.”

The coach from Vitoria hopes this will be a good “starting point. I’m satisfied, we competed well; and from here on in we have to continue to grow,” he added.

Regarding the rival, “the stats speak for themselves, they have a great number of lateral crosses, and we knew we’d have to be strong. They make a lot of arrivals to the rival area,” he concluded.
