Midfielder Gustavo Manduca believes APOEL deserved to beat Ajax in their Champions League encounter on Tuesday.

The Τhrylos were forced to come from behind to secure a 1-1 draw at the GSP Stadium, but Manduca, who netted the equaliser, has regrets that they didn"t go on to take all three points.

"Ajax started aggressively in the game and [forced us] back," he told UEFA.com. "But afterwards we did well. 

"One point is not bad, but we felt we deserved better. If we look at the opportunities to score, I think we had more – we came closer to a second goal than Ajax. So the result is not good for us, but anyway we have to continue to work hard and look ahead."
