Advancement into the finals

"We're glad to have made the first step and to be able to play in the finals. Along with us, Corinthians were the top seeds of the tournament even before its start and now we're going to have to face each other in a battle for the title. They're going to be a difficult opponent but I believe we'll be able to prevail," said Petr in Yokohama.

The Blues got in the lead in the 17. minute after Mata's goal, which was followed by another one by Torres at the beginning of the second half. The opponent then added an own goal shortly thereafter. "We started really well, we got into several goal chances and scored from one of the. We went into the second half bearing in mind that we had to score a deciding goal soon, which worked out perfectly. The opponent then tried to equalise, they played well during the last 25 minutes. In the end they did score eventually, which is a shame since a clean sheet would have been better," stated Petr after the match.
