Néstor Lorenzo: "We tried every way"

Colombia defied expectations, neutralizing what many considered Portugal's clear favoritism, and held Roberto Martínez's side to a draw.

Ultimately, the South Americans were still left feeling disappointed with the goalless draw, believing they should have extracted more from the match. 

"We tried every way to win, but unfortunately, we couldn't," lamented Néstor Lorenzo.

The Cafeteros' coach praised his players' attitude, stating they "always chased the victory" and highlighting that the "best aspect of this game" was their "offensive pressing."

"Ghana will be tough, but we will maintain our identity," he assured, already looking ahead to the Round of 16 clash against the team led by Carlos Queiroz.
