"The expectation (to advance to the final) exists, but we did what we should do within our ability. Nothing is lacking. Chelsea played better and better, we fought to the end, but that's the situation in the game. We fought to the end, we fought, we contributed, we gave our sweat and will. Cherish this." In the 35th minute of the game, Netiyago Santos headed the ball in the penalty area, and the ball hit Chaloba's arm. The referee awarded the handball as soon as possible. VAR intervened, and Chaloba's arm naturally sagged and the penalty kick was cancelled.
Nonato said: "We certainly were eager to reach the final. We did our best. We must congratulate Chelsea on the game we played today. We must go back to the locker room and understand that we faced the game the way we should."
"From my perspective, the (ball) hit the hand. In short, the penalty was cancelled. There was not much to do."
