ISL 2020-21 | We need to learn from the loss against Northeast United FC, asserts Sergio Lobera

But, the ‘Highlanders’, by virtue of two early strikes from Deshorn Brown managed to turn the tide in their favour and eventually secured a 2-1 victory. As per Mumbai City FC’s head coach - they did not start the game well, which was the root cause for the game going in favour of Northeast United. The Spaniard feels that they need to analyse their game and learn from Saturday’s loss as soon as possible.

“It was difficult for us. It's important for us to start the games well. When we score the first goal, it is very difficult for the opponent team to play in the same way. We lost our concentration and conceded two goals in three minutes. Our action was not good. There was a lot of space between the lines. But we need to think about this and learn from this,” said Sergio Lobera, during the post-match press conference.

“Yes, I feel they played really well. They deserved to win. I, as a coach, will try to improve my team so that this does not happen again,” added the Mumbai City FC head coach.
