Sergio Gonzalez believes Espanyol deserved better than a 2-1 defeat from Valencia’s visit to Cornella-El Prat and rued missed opportunities.
A Pablo Piatti goal and Pau Lopez own goal put Los Che two goals clear late in the second half, before Sergio Garcia netted an even later consolation, and the Coach wasn’t happy with the story of the match.
“We will never have such clear opportunities as today’s chances. Valencia were better for 20 minutes, but then we recovered,” he said, Marca reports.
“Neither team imposed themselves then but we have paid for our mistakes.
“We are professionals, we have to move on. It won’t affect us. The football we played isn’t why we didn’t win.
“There’s an argument the team doesn’t have confidence. We lost with our heads high and we’re going to [Athletic Bilbao] to give our everything.”
