Aguirre brushed off the attack and the injury. "Nothing, nothing, it's football," said the 65-year-old coach. "They deserved to win, they were better than us...and well, to try to lift my team's spirit."
In the start of the post-game press conference, Aguirre expressed "solidarity with the people of Honduras who are suffering from tropical storm Sara," prioritizing compassion over his injury.
Rueda apologized for the injury and highlighted that the occurrence impacted his feelings on the win. "I'm sad because he's a human being," said a stoic Rueda post-game. "They hit the coach...that can't happen."
Aguirre suffered his first defeat of the year after a previous unbeaten record in his third stint with Mexico, needing to score at least two goals in the next leg.
