O saints debuted on Copa Sudamericana last Tuesday, the 5th, and Fabian Bustos did not leave very happy with the refereeing in the defeat of his team to Banfield by the score of 1 to 0. Even dissatisfied with the absence of VAR in the first part of the tournament, the Peixe coach also pointed out some issues that made him “happy” with the team’s debut in the tournament.
During the press conference, what Fabián Bustos most complained about was an unmarked penalty on Ricardo Goulart.

CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:
There was a clear penalty in a header by Goulart. We must congratulate Banfield on the victory, but we need the technology urgently, because situations like this are defined (…)he said.
Fabián Bustos also took the opportunity to assess the way Santos played during the match against Banfield. He highlighted some important points of his team and also in relation to the opponent. According to the coach, the 1-0 defeat to the Argentine rivals was unfair and another score would be more in keeping with Peixe.
“If you replay the first half, (there was) a very nice goal from them due to our mistake. It was even (the first half). Banfield had more possession, but when we counterattacked, three against three, we did damage. Banfield was very intense, vertical, but created chances in our mistakes. There were no clear situations“, he began explaining.
The goal came at the end of the first half in a play in which we tried to get away and it came out short. In the second half we had some chances, and they got set pieces that made it difficult for us. In general terms, it was an even game, and the defeat seemed totally unfair to me.“, followed.

Fabián Bustos also finalized his analysis of Santos’ debut: “(I am) Happy with the debut, but bitter about the result. They hurt us like we knew, with second ball and high pressure. It was the only way they could do it. We have to congratulate Banfield (on the goal). The goal did not come at a good moment, ending the first half, in a very even game“
“We started with a defeat as visitors in Argentina, but we are going to play at home and we have to score points. Let’s (think) game by game, try to seek the results. Sudamericana is even and, unlike Libertadores, only one passes, but Banfield, Católica and Calera will need results, like us“, he added.
Santos returns to the field for the Copa Sudamericana on the 13th, at 19:15 (Brasília time), to face Universidad Católica, in Vila Belmiro. But first, Peixe debuts in the Brasileirão this Saturday, 9th, at 4:30 pm, against Fluminense, at the Maracanã stadium.
