Head coach Craig Harrison insists The New Saints are still very much in their Europa League third qualifying round tie following Tuesday night’s 1-0 reverse against Moldovan champions FC Petrocub.
A deflected 20th-minute effort from the edge of the penalty area by Donalio Douanla proved the difference between the sides in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova.
“I don’t think Connor Roberts had another save to make. The possession’s really tight. I think we’ve both had six shots each, and one on target each. “We’re due a little bit of luck with one of them and hopefully next week at Park Hall we’ll get our little bit of luck that we’re due.” “We’ve got to be professional, we’ve got to be disciplined and we’ve got to come into the game the way we came into the game tonight. And a little bit more quality in the final third, maybe a little more luck that I think we’re due, and then we’ve got an opportunity to go through.”
Meanwhile, three of Saints’ opening five JD Cymru Premier matches of the new league season have been postponed owing to their ongoing involvement in European competition.
