“That’s HURT and difficult to take at the end, especially because of the rollercoaster of emotions at the end”- “Cyriel Dessers Drops Unexpected verdict for Rangers after DEVASTATING defeat to Manchester United
After a goalless first half, the second half saw the goals start to flow. Manchester United took the lead through a Jack Butland own goal, but Rangers responded with an 88th-minute equalizer from Cyriel Dessers.
Just as it seemed both teams would settle for a draw, Manchester United struck again in stoppage time with a goal from Bruno Fernandes, securing a 2-1 victory for the Red Devils.
Following the match, Dessers expressed his disappointment with the result but praised his teammates’ performance.
“It’s tough to accept, especially after the emotional rollercoaster at the end,” Dessers said. “At first, it felt like we were going to take a point from Old Trafford, but then to lose it like that is painful.”
He added, “We can be proud of our performance. Despite having a few injuries before the game, and more during it, the young players who came in did an incredible job. They showed great work ethic, courage, and attacking spirit.”
Dessers continued, “It was only their second or third match at this level, and that’s a huge compliment to them. We felt we deserved a point against a strong team, but the final result is hard to take.”
Having scored in his second consecutive match, Dessers is pleased with his current form and aims to continue his goalscoring run and secure a starting spot at Ibrox. Rangers’ next Europa League match is against Royale Union SG next week.
Cyriel Dessers, the Super Eagles forward, praised his Rangers teammates for their performance in their 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Thursday, according to Soccernet.ng.
The match was Rangers’ penultimate group stage game in the Europa League, as they traveled to Old Trafford to face Manchester United. Both teams needed a win to ensure automatic qualification for the round of 16. Despite Manchester United being the favorites due to their pedigree, their recent poor form meant Rangers still had a chance.
The first half ended goalless, but the second half saw plenty of drama. Manchester United took the lead with a Jack Butland own goal. Rangers leveled the score with Dessers’ goal in the 88th minute.
With the game seemingly heading for a draw, Bruno Fernandes scored in stoppage time to give Manchester United a 2-1 win.
After the match, Dessers expressed frustration with the result but commended his teammates’ efforts.
“It’s hard to take, especially after the emotions at the end,” Dessers said. “At first, it felt like we were going to leave Old Trafford with a point, but to let it slip like that is difficult.”
He added, “We can be really proud of the performance, especially given the injuries before the game and the additional ones during it. The young players who came on did an outstanding job, showing great work ethic, bravery, and forward play.”
Dessers also highlighted the inexperience of some players, noting it was only their second or third match at this level. He concluded, “We thought we had earned a point against a very strong team, but the final result still stings.”
Dessers, who scored in consecutive matches, is feeling confident in his current form and hopes to maintain his goalscoring streak and earn a regular spot in the starting lineup. Rangers will face Royale Union SG in their next Europa League match next week.
