Baina: Happy with the Goal I Scored, We Knew This

Alex Baena, the star of the Spanish national team, spoke in a press statement after the victory over the Uruguayan team with a score of one to zero, in the third round of the group stage of the World Cup.

The player said in his interview: "We knew it was going to be a tough match. They were playing to stay in the game, and we were playing for the top spot in the group. We didn't perform at our best, but we competed very well."

About his goal: "This goal might be one of the most joyful in my career."

Regarding goalkeeper Muslera's mistake in the goal scene: "I think the ball bounced poorly in front of him, which caused what happened. It must have been very difficult for him, and I send him a big hug."

He concluded about the Uruguay national team, which exited the tournament: "This is football. We understand their situation, as they were at risk of elimination. They played with intensity, but without the intention to harm anyone. It was a beautiful match."
