Italiano: We had the match in our hands, we threw away a 2-0 lead

In Trendyol Süper Lig week 10, Beşiktaş head coach Vincenzo Italiano assessed the result after his side drew 2-2 with Kasımpaşa, having led 2-0, in a statement to the broadcaster after the match.

Italiano said the team's intensity and quality declined as the game went on. Despite four or five clear chances, they failed to find a third goal, the coach said. Due to a lack of focus and a loss of rhythm, the opponent took control and they conceded two goals. He also acknowledged that the opposing players scored two good goals.

The Italian coach also addressed the points lost away from home. Arguing that the team has the capacity to win on the road, Italiano said they could not show away the quality and concentration they display at home, and that they had paid a heavy price for it. Stressing that they would find a solution, he said they had to correct this problem.
