DOHA: As he watched his side suffer another blow to their World Cup hopes; Qatar coach Daniel Carreno on Tuesday said his team fought well against Uzbekistan in their 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying game but missed chances to score. “It is a disappointing defeat as we lost in the last minutes of the match, as was the case in the first match,” said Qatar coach Jose Daniel Carreno. “We tried our best to have a good performance but we were not lucky and we couldn't score from the chances that we created. “We tried our best to prepare the players mentally and physically before the match but we didn’t have as a good a performance as we expected. I hope that we can make a good comeback in the next matches in the qualifiers.” Uzbekistan won with a late goal by Egor Krimets in the 86th minute at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium. "We entered the match of wining the game," Carreno said during a press conference. "We wanted to take advantage and score goals. We got many opportunities but we did not take them," he said. "We can still come back back and fight in the coming games," he said. "We still have fight remaining. We just have to be positive all the way," he said. He said chief striker Sebastian Soria did not get many chances to score. Carreno said an under-performing ‎midfield prevented the strikers from playing freely. Carreno also said that Qatar players were coming off from an off-season and that impacted the results in the last two games of intensity. "We must continue to move forward," he said.
