 "Today was a tough pill to swallow. We played one of our best games, against one of the best opponents we've faced all season, and for 80 min; deserved to win the game," said Head Coach Eduardo Nunes. "We didn't finish a few opportunities and we allowed them to gain momentum in the last ten minutes. The bright side is that we haven't lost yet, we are gaining some valuable experience and learning some hard lessons."
