The Cityzens took the lead in the 27th minute of the game thanks to a rocket from outside the box by Rodri with his weaker foot.

He said he urged his players not to dwell on the result, as it does not paint an honest picture of the match. He believes his team did a lot of things right in the game, but the embarrassing result changes perspectives.
