German Matthias Jaissle, the head coach of Al-Ahli Jeddah, expressed his dissatisfaction following the 2-1 loss to Al-Fateh in the Saudi Professional League, emphasizing that his team was the closest to securing the points.

During the press conference held on Friday evening, Jaissle explained that losing focus at specific moments cost Al Ahly the result, pointing out that minor mistakes are harshly punished at this level of competition.

The Al-Ahli coach confirmed that his team dominated the course of the match, especially during the first half, but lacked decisiveness and precision when reaching the final third of the field.

He pointed out that missing easy opportunities was the main reason for losing the win, explaining that failing to capitalize on offensive control always leads to paying the price at the end of matches.

Jaissle spoke about the impact of absences, especially with some players participating in the Africa Cup of Nations, emphasizing that any coach prefers to have all their key players available without making excuses.

He emphasized his confidence in all the team players, despite the circumstances, affirming that the current group is capable of overcoming this difficult phase.

Jaissle criticized the refereeing decisions during the match, revealing that he approached the referee after the game to discuss some controversial incidents that were not properly judged.
