Speaking with the media post-match, he said the home side made a switch after 30 minutes to bolster their efforts up front, and that this enabled their resurgent efforts in the second-half.
“The first-half, in the first 30 minutes, I was alone,” Mateta said. “After we put [Odsonne] Edouard behind me and it that’s why the second-half was much better… Second-half we finished much better than the first-half.”
