Nahornyak: It's frustrating to lose points 20 seconds from time

Epicentr head coach Serhiy Nahornyak expressed his frustration following his side's 1-2 defeat against Kharkiv in the Ukrainian Premier League. The manager noted that while his players performed well, a lack of concentration in the dying moments cost them dearly.

Football is a game where sometimes the result is unfair, but I cannot say anything bad to the boys, they played. It was a slight lack of concentration. It is frustrating to lose points in two consecutive games with 20 seconds left. Serhiy Nahornyak

Nahornyak highlighted that the team intentionally shifted to a two-striker formation in the second half, which allowed them to level the score. Despite a strong performance against a team with high ambitions, they lacked the final pass needed to secure a better outcome.

The coach thanked his players for their attitude and insisted that the team must move forward. Despite the disappointment, the squad accepts the result and is preparing for upcoming challenges.
