Agustin Alvarez proved the matchwinner on the day.
Dionisi later said, "We knew it was going to be a very difficult match, we prepared it well by allowing a bit of field on the first construction and playing more aggressive on the second play.
"We had to intelligently compensate for their greater physicality. The draw would not have been an unfair result, but we have had the most important chances.
"Against Udinese we lost a game that if we play again we don't lose anymore, but in the end it all adds up. Today the accounts have settled, we must continue on this path.
"I'm happy for Alvarez because he has to play to get to his level. In Italy there is more physicality than where he played before, he is working on this, he is trying to be a reference for the team. He wants more of the ball into his feet, but he becomes too predictable."
