Statements by Manuel Pellegrini:
“Both teams performed well throughout the match, on a very difficult pitch. We really had to work hard, and made the most of our chances from set pieces, and I think the 1-1 draw was a fair result. Eibar were a tough team tonight, very motivated to get through to the next round of the Copa del Rey. The next match is open for either team, although the fact that we scored an away goal will be an important factor I think. However either team could win the return leg.”
Statements from Carlos Kameni:
“In a Copa del Rey away match, scoring a goal is always important. I think it was a very balanced game on a difficult pitch. The next leg is 50/50 and will be decided at La Rosaleda.”
Statements by Weligton:
“We knew it’d be a hard match, and the state of the pitch didn’t make things any easier. They were lucky enough to score from a set piece, and we were fortunate to equalise in the last minute. It was a very fair result, but we need to win the return leg at La Rosaleda. It was a tough match tonight, and we knew that a goal would have to come from a set piece.”
