Pecchia said, "What did we miss? We were missing a goalkeeper, because you can play with 10 men.

"In the second half I knew I could risk something but we held firm. My team was great even with 10 men and no goalkeepers. We could have drawn it at the end, congratulations to the lads.

"Our desire to play is great, this match will be very useful to us because there is great bitterness, but there is also great satisfaction."
