We almost created no chances in the attack . It was really hard to watch nobody even passed one , no physical presence , not being in the dangerous areas ; no kind of quality today in our attack . This is dissapointing because as you mentioned in a cup ; things can happen . If you play like this  it had to happen thats why it makes really hard " .
