"Hard work for this and when bad moments hit, I focused on my family", Correa told TNT Sports, moved by hugging his son Bautista after his goals. "These are the things I take with me... He's in a great learning process".
Ortiz praised Correa: "The name on the field doesn't change me if I think he can do better and today 'Javi' understood he had to get the better of the center-back". Yet he cautioned: "We have to correct that drop in morale at the start of second halves".
