Emiliano Alfaro had another disappointing day at the office as NorthEast United FC suffered their third successive defeat in the 2016 Hero Indian Super League on Saturday evening. Playing in front of almost 30,000 home fans at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati, the Highlanders lost to Mumbai City FC, for whom winger Jackichand Singh scored the only goal of the match at the stroke of half-time. Alfaro, who is the joint top-scorer this season along with Marcelinho from Delhi Dynamos FC, spoke to indiansuperleague.com after the match and discussed their fourth defeat of the season. Here are the excerpts from the match. Mumbai scored against the run of play, what are your thoughts on that?It was difficult, I’m very sad right now. I know this happens in football but we missed many chances. Unluckily for us, we conceded the goal and everything was difficult for us after that.Did it get too heated during the game with that fight breaking out early in the second half?Yes, it was difficult with the fight and their defence was also very strong. We will continue trying and we will try to fix our mistakes, and win the next game.A great save from Mumbai goalkeeper Albino Gomes in the first half. What do you have to say about that?Yes, he is a great keeper. As I said earlier, we missed a lot of chances and after that we conceded, which made it difficult for us.This is your third loss at home in a row. How is this going to affect your season?For us, it is a very bad result because we came here to win. We have lost three games and now we have no room for mistakes and I feel we can do it.Is there any particular area you are looking to improve in?No, nothing in particular.
