Portugal coach, Fernando Santos has explained why his team lost 1-0 against Switzerland in Sunday’s UEFA Nations League tie.
Santos watched as Haris Seferović scored the fastest-ever goal in UEFA Nations League to ensure Switzerland beat Portugal in Group A2.
The match was played at the de Genève Stadium.
Speaking at his post-match press conference, Santos said Portugal lost to Switzerland because his players lacked a bit of effectiveness and anxiety of wanting to score during the encounter.
He said: “A goal conceded inside 60 seconds ends up changing the game, and the team took time to find themselves, but they managed to pick themselves up.
“In the second half the team did everything it had to do. It lacked a bit of effectiveness, it was the anxiety of wanting to score. We did a lot of good things in the second half and I think this result was unfair.”
