SC Braga can bounce back from their defeat against Club Brugge, says Mossoro – Europa League News
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Braga-c40460’s Mossoro has claimed that the club missed several chances against Club Brugge, and that resulted in a defeat. However, he added that his side will be looking to bounce back from the result.
The Archbishops welcomed Club Brugge to Estadio AXA in their UEFA Europa League fixture but despite having the advantage of playing at home, they lost 2-1 to the Belgian giants.
Leonardo Jardim’s men suffered their first defeat of the 2011/2012 campaign, as a late header from Ryan Donk secured all three points for the visitors and left the home team ruing their luck.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hélder-c15997 Barbosa’s 53rd minute goal was expected to curb all the efforts of Brugge, but they never gave up and forced their way back into the game with Joseph Akpala levelling the score at 1-1.
Both the sides then seemed destined to share the spoils but a late header from Ryan Donk lighted up the stadium and secured a victory for the visitors.
Braga were left cursing their luck, as they failed to make the most out of their chances and had to endure the heartbreak of conceding their first defeat of the term.
Midfielder Mossoro commented on the situation and said that the reason why his side lost the tie was because they failed to convert the opportunities they created.
“Football is exactly like this. We had several chances to kill the game off but failed in front of goal and in football if you don't score there's always a risk you can concede. We were pegged back following two set-plays, which rarely happen with us,” he
said.
The Brazilian also said that they will not let the loss dampen the team spirits and instead they will look to learn from it.
“We have never been euphoric when we win and we won't be down just because we lost one match. Tonight the game was going our way but then things just got out of hand. It was not a case of relaxing or something like that. We were just unlucky,” Mossoro was
quoted as saying.
SC Braga now take on Uniao de Leiria in their Primeira Liga fixture on October 2, 2011.
