We came back to the top of the table, but I am not happy. In the second half, when you’ve scored three goals in the first half, we shouldn’t be conceding with these mistakes and increasing the motivation of the opposition team.” “These mistakes happened against Chennaiyin FC, against Kerala (Blasters FC). I think this is not the best way. But three very important points for us. We need to learn and improve how we approach the second half for the next match." "I think in the first half, we played very well. We controlled the game. Today we saw two different sides of FC Goa. The first half and the second half. It’s very important to be level in our idea. We need to improve this aspect,” added Lobera. Expanding on his team’s incredible first half showing, the Spaniard stated, “I think Odisha had a lot of problems today with respect to injuries and suspensions. But I am going to credit FC Goa in the first half. They have a very good team, a strong team." "But in the first half, we played very well. Before this, in all matches at home, Odisha won and for us this is a very good three points.” [KH_RELATED_NEWS title="Related News | ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW"][/KH_RELATED_NEWS] Finally, Lobera expressed his satisfaction at the brace scored by Jackichand Singh.

The most important thing is to find the best way for the team to score.”
