Nigerian striker Cyril Desires expressed his disappointment following Cremonese’s 3-2 defeat by Sassuolo on Monday night.
Cremonese trailed 2-0 at half-time, however, Desires’ introduction of Ghana striker Avena Gyan after the break turned things in their favour, before conceding again late on.
Desires pulled one back for the visitors in the 62nd minute.
The 28-year-old then scored the equalizer seven minutes from time after rounding the Sassuolo goalkeeper.
Sassuolo took all three points, with Nadim Bajrami scoring the winning goal in stoppage time.
“This result hurts. In the second half we put in a great performance, all together, and also with the fans, which was important, but the way this defeat ended was very painful.”
“We did a great job, we are on the right track. We have to keep going like this and then the results will come naturally,”
Desires has scored five goals in 19 league matches for Cremonese this season.
