Sevilla coach Jerome Adams Akor has voiced his frustration following the Rojiblancos’ 2-0 home defeat to Real Betis in the latest Seville derby on Sunday.
The result marks Sevilla’s fourth loss in five league matches, highlighting a troubling run of form for Mattias Almeyda’s side. Despite dominating much of the contest, Sevilla were undone by ineffective finishing in front of goal.
Akor urged his players to move past the setback and focus on their upcoming fixtures. “We can’t lose like this. It’s not just a defeat, it’s a slap in the face at home,” he told the club’s official website. “For much of the game we were in control, we had chances, but they took theirs and there are no excuses. We have to work hard and keep going.”
The coach’s comments underline the need for Sevilla to convert possession and opportunities into goals if they are to recover in La Liga this season.
