Gomez added, saying: “I am not happy with the result. We prepared for this match to win and play good football, but we were not able to play good football for many reasons.”
He continued: “We gave the attacking duo freedom and they swapped places, but this made us create spaces. We did not play a bad match overall, and we did not take advantage of the opportunities we had in the first half.”
