Djan Bacelar tried to play up whatever positives he could take from the match, in a sign that the Birds were definitely imploding.
"
Hariharan Prabhu was excellent." he said, ignoring that the midfielder happened to have been transfer-listed. "Isufi was dreadfully unlucky with his lob in the first half, it could have been totally different had we taken the lead."
It was true however that the competition was stiffer than ever, with Iranian Division Three club Taaje aasemaan scoring a shock upset against defending champions Security First. They will play FC Trinidad & Tobago next, though it will no longer be of concern to Grilled.
Bacelar certainly wasn't letting up on the young Birds' exposure, as he revealed that he had lined up a slot in the East Europe - Asia Championship tournament, beginning next week. "The guys might as well play their way back into form, the way I see it!"
