FC Porto lost the League Cup in the last minute of the match against SC Braga (1-0). Iván Marcano talked of a “sad day for the club”, but assured the blue and whites have to “raise their heads” and give everything they have in the next match.

Unfortunate result
“This is a sad day for us, for the club and for the fans. Now we are only thinking of the rest of the season and we want to do our best. This is a very complicated moment, especially after the goal conceded in the last minute of the match. It’s difficult and hard, but we need to raise our heads and do the best we can in the next match.”

Match analysis
“SC Braga started better in the first 20 minutes, but then we had two or three clear opportunities to score. We failed to do it. The second-half was pretty much the same as the first. I believe this was a balanced match that ended up going to SC Braga.”

Looking at the future
“A defeat is always hard to deal with, as we are in a winning club, with a tremendous history. When we lose, it’s always sad. We have to look at the match against Gil Vicente and work to win.”
