“We have played competitively since August; absolute domination. We conceded an unlucky own goal, and I believe the second goal was a foul on the goalkeeper, but it is not for me to judge, mine is to look at important facts,” Sredojevic said after the match.

“We are a work in progress, and we have succeeded in teaching them how to play football. We have shown that we know how to play football, but the only problem is to how to play football and get results.

“It’s a process to be result-oriented. We are not in a beauty contest. We are here for the results, and this is what counts. We didn’t deserve to lose today. Unfortunately football is like this; it’s not what you deserve; but what you get. We got nothing, but we deserve more than what we got.”
