Kashiwa Reysol head coach Nelsinho: We gave Santos a hard time in 3-1 defeat at Club World Cup

Goal : ?? Kashiwa Reysol head coach Nelsinho praised his team's effort in the aftermath of their 3-1 defeat to Santos at Toyota Stadium in Wednesday night's Club World Cup semi-final.

Reysol went into the second half trailing 2-0 due to goals scored by Neymar and Borges, but brought themselves back into the game thanks to Hiroki Sakai's header following a corner kick.

The J-League champions eventually succumbed to defeat when Danilo expertly bent a free kick around the wall and past goalkeeper Takanori Sugeno to complete the scoring.

"Tonight we created many good chances, but we also committed some mistakes and conceded two early goals," admitted Nelsinho in the post-match press conference.

"We conceded a little space, and Neymar scored once, almost twice. They were good in making use of their opportunities."

Reysol also created some decent goalscoring opportunities themselves, as players such as Jorge Wagner and Hideaki Kitajima put the Santos defenders under a surprising amount of pressure.
