"It was a tough afternoon for us. They're a good team and they got on the front foot and we struggled to get any aspect of control. We did well to keep it at 1-0 for a large period of the first half and I was pleased that we showed enough character to stay in the game. But then (conceding) two goals in quick succession is really frustrating and it looked like a mountain to climb. There's lots to take from it in terms of where we have to improve, but character and personality-wise, we were better in the second half.
"A lot of teams go two or three behind and almost when you've got nothing to lose, you play differently when the pressure's off. Mentally we had nothing to lose and we asked them to show a little bit more belief; they started to show it but when Cafu got sent off, it was a difficult one for us. We weren't sharp enough, bright enough or good enough in that first half and we know we can be better. We've caught a good team on a very good day and a poor day for ourselves, but we know we can improve in certain areas."
