CSKA comeback hurts Jimenez

International Football, 12:35, February 25, 2010 ,

Sevilla coach Manolo Jimenez has admitted he was disappointed with his side's 1-1 Champions League draw at CSKA Moscow on Wednesday.

Jimenez's side were heading for a vital 1-0 first-leg win thanks to Alvaro Negredo's first-half goal but a stunning strike from Mark Gonzalez earned the home side a draw after the break.
The Sevilla coach believes the draw is a good result ahead of the return game in Spain but he was frustrated his side could not hold on to their lead.
"Although the result is good, we cannot avoid going away with a bittersweet taste in the mouth," he said.
"It's not a negative result, as scoring away from home is always positive.
"I was convinced that the game was going to be ours, it's not completely gone the way I wanted and I'm sure that CSKA, who are a great team, will come and give it everything at our ground."
