Port coach Hossam Al-Sayed said:

"We were hoping to win and collect the three points, especially since our position in the standings cannot afford more setbacks, but unfortunately, we did not capitalize on some opportunities and made simple mistakes that cost us a goal."

He added: "I take full responsibility, but at the same time, we cannot overlook the great fight the players put in on the field, especially in the second half after conceding the goal, where we quickly returned and managed to equalize."

Hossam continued: "The team is going through complicated circumstances, whether in terms of psychological pressure or the urgent need for points, and I completely understand the fans' anger because we all feel the weight of responsibility."

He concluded: "We still have important matches ahead, and we will fight to the end for survival, and we trust that the port can overcome this difficult phase."
