The players were dejected at the final whistle because currently we are holding ourselves in high regard and we wanted all three points. But we take the point and move forward. There are some things we learnt from playing in the first leg and we need to improve and do better at home. We have worked on them and raring to go. The most important thing for us now is to stay focused and win all our matches then we see where we end up when the season closes,” he added.
