The article details a football match where a team conceded a poor goal early on, failing to navigate the crucial opening minutes against a Premiership opponent. Despite a strong performance and perceived bad luck with VAR and ricochets, the team ultimately did not create enough significant chances to equalize. The manager praised the players' effort despite the outcome.

The frustration, obviously, is the set play we lose. The message was clear, the first 20 minutes, whenever you go to a Premiership team, it's always really important that you try and get through that period of the game. Unfortunately, we never. We lose a poor goal. We don't pick up, we lose our men and Josh makes a great save, but they're there for the rebound. On another day, you get the luck of the VAR. It went to VAR about a potential handball. I’ve not seen it back, I'll need to try and find it. Again, it never went for us. But I thought from there, it can either go one way or another. You either sink or you swim. I thought the boys today were excellent. We went for Aberdeen. On another day, something falls for you, you get a goal. We've got the ricochet that falls, they clear it, we’ve then got the Mitov bad touch. And then one or two things in the second half. But in the end, we never did enough to try and give Mitov any issues.
