WHAT COACH KEVIN KENNEDY SAID
"We're obviously disappointed with the result. There were some difficult circumstances in the match, and we failed to respond properly. Couple this with missing a penalty early in the second half and it will be tough to find a way to win. We took a step backwards tonight, but we will bounce back."
