Pellegrino Matarazzo expressed satisfaction with his Real Sociedad's reaction to equalize the 0-2 score with which Betis had taken the lead, but expressed regret for his team's defensive mistakes that led to the disadvantage and that ultimately failed to take advantage of the opportunity to win the match.

The coach emphasized that he was satisfied with the way they ended the match, despite the fact that in the first half they had a good performance and tried, but with unnecessary mistakes that gave Betis great opportunities.

However, even after the 0-2 score, he felt the players wanted to win, which was important.

Matarazzo declared: “We scored two goals in offside positions, two more to equalize and we had a chance at the end to win, which shows that we have a lot of heart and a great desire to win.”

The New Jersey coach preferred to highlight the many chances his team created, rather than the mistakes in front of goal. “We weren’t very efficient, but I’m happy that we continued to insist on getting into the box and creating chances, that’s important, to continue to believe and move forward, and that’s what we did, even though we weren’t accurate,” he explained.

Regarding the crazy nature of the match, with constant movement from one area to another, Matarazzo commented: “If we are losing in the score, I don’t care about the madness, I like that we think about changing the dynamics of the game and believing that we can win.” He sees this more as a positive than a negative, but stressed that they would like to be more stable in defense, which would lead to less “madness.” “It is true that we need to concede fewer goals, especially those we have conceded in the second half of LaLiga, because we are where we are thanks to our attacking precision,” he added.

Óskarsson was one of the main names in his post-match press conference. “We’ve always seen his quality. In January or February, when he played 20 minutes, he came on and changed the game. And now he’s playing 90 minutes and scoring goals,” said Matarazzo. He stressed the importance of the player not having any physical problems and continuing to improve, as he has a lot of potential. “Do I like what he’s doing together with Oyarzabal? Yes, I do,” concluded the coach.
