It's always tough to swallow a defeat, especially when the opposition manager admits a draw would have been a fair result. Unfortunately, Porto came away with nothing despite a spirited performance.

The game turned on two nearly identical goals, both conceded from set-pieces due to a lack of alertness and a slow reaction to the second ball. These moments highlighted the need for greater urgency, tighter pressure, and shared defensive responsibility across
the pitch.

Aiden was named Gartec Player of the Match, scoring with a smart header from a corner and consistently taking on his man down the wing, showing determination.

Despite these efforts, Porto gave the away side too much space and control at key moments. It's another match that could have gone differently, but the team must now focus on learning and bouncing back.

There were good performances across the pitch, and the squad should remember they are a good side with plenty of quality. Positive belief in each other will be key as they regroup and push for the rewards their play deserves.
