Lille coach rues loss to Sporting Lisbon

Lille lost 1-2 at home, but Garcia feels his side should have managed to get at least a draw from the game.

“We only played for a half. We would have like a second goal in the second half to at least equalise,” the coach told Leparisien.fr.

“Taking a point would have been a lesser evil.

“We had a difficult first half, and Sporting took their opportunities well. I expected more from the team.

“We will have another chance to do well, and the players must seize their chance much better than they did.”
