Wilfried Nancy emphasized that while the referee enforced pre-kick regulations well, the goalkeeper's off-line position during Malte Amundsen's penalty was overlooked, impacting the outcome of the game. He noted the inconsistency in the referee’s assertion that the shot wasn't affected, as the clear violation should have warranted a retake according to the rules. Nancy illustrated this by referencing how the shot ultimately hit the crossbar and didn’t even threaten the goal, highlighting how critical such decisions are in high-stakes matches.
Despite the disappointing result against Club America, Nancy reflected on the broader aspect of the game, stating, "We lost the game. I told them when we won the MLS Cup, we learned from that. And we lost the Concacaf Champions Cup final in Pachuca. We also learned from that. So at the end of the day, the fact that we win or we lose, we learn." This perspective showcases his commitment to fostering growth within the team regardless of immediate outcomes.
