Sage admits to 'difficult' night in Como

Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage believes his side "created opportunities offensively" but "lacked aggression" defensively on a night of mixed results at the Como Cup. "In the first game, we played with our older players but it was difficult because Lens are a good team," Sage told Palace TV. "But we did also have opportunities offensively and we have to keep that [as our positive]."
