Manager : We are outsiders. Seryes boss finds defeat hard to take

Seryes boss conceded his side were now "outsiders" for the title after losing 3-1 to Victory.

The manager has refused to rule his team out of the title race and is optimistic Seryes' rivals will drop further points before the end of the season.

"It is difficult to swallow a defeat like that when we felt we were the better team," he told MMUfc Sports 1.

"Victory defended well until the last minute so you have got to give them credit."

Asked about Seryes' title chances, he said: "We are outsiders but we will fight until the last day of the season.

"I believe everyone can drop points. Let's come back to win our next game first and then see where we stand."

In the match, the only goal for Seryes was scored by the late comer Avi. Victory's goalkeeper failed to catch the ball properly after Kit's dangerous free kick and Avi was the quickest to get to the ball and tapped in for Seryes' only goal in the match. Seryes had attacked well and threatened the Victory defenders but still failed to turn the attacks to goals.

In the first half Iman nearly equalised after Victory's first goal when Pian's pinpoint cross found Iman who was free to head the ball but only manage to find his header ended up going against the bar.

"I need to sharpen my finishing!", said Maher when he missed 3 half chances to score.

"It's a good start, it's only our first match. Let's learn from our mistakes in this match and start to focus on the next match!", said Fahrul, the new team captain.

"We missed Jo", said Iman who thought that the absence of Jo has weakened the Seryes' defensive line.

Seryes is going to face Dettol in the next round of the group stage on the 26th of February.
