Geylang United coach Scott O'Donell was not totally disappointed with his team performance as the Eagles fell to the performance of Brazilian striker Cristiano Junior who netted twice to lead East Bengal to a 3-2 victory over Geyalng United.
Scott O'Donell believed his team had performed as required by him but admit that the goals conceded were sloppy.
He felt the plan was working as the Eagles had held the AESAN & Indian Champion to 1-1 draw at the interval. If it was not for Cristiano Junior 2nd goal of the night late in the 2nd half, the Eagles would have done a brilliant job in holding 1 of the favourite for the AFC Cup to a draw.
Still he felt there was a need for the entire team to perform better in defence for their next AFC Cup match
