Post-game comments from head coach Wilfried Nancy, Djordje Mihailovic and Kamal Miller available here.

WILFRIED NANCY

"This result is hard to accept. The match was finished at 3-1. We needed better decision-making. Our objective was to move the ball laterally and attack them. But our decision-making was not good. We lost the ball in the final third and didn't finish when we had the chances in their end. We knew their players would push for the last 15 minutes. But we had control of the match. They scored twice in situations they didn't provoke themselves. We lost possession at bad moments."

DJORDJE MIHAILOVIC

"I felt we had the match under control for the majority of the second half. We can't allow a team down two goals and a player back into the game. Some naïve mistakes were made on the goals conceded. We all have to take a big look at ourselves in the mirror and figure out what is going on. We have some time before the next game to gather ourselves."

KAMAL MILLER

"We may have been complacent thinking the job was done before the final whistle based on how the game was going. We dominated the ball and they didn't have much going for them. We kept pushing numbers forward. And when you do that but do not get that fourth goal to kill the game leave a door open for them to come back."
