MARTI Cifuentes said his Queens park Rangers team would “never give up” after an astonishing end to their Championship game against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Saturday.
There were riotous scenes as the Owls thought they had won it in the 93nd minute when Barry Bannan scored.
However, in the 96th minute there was a chaotic goalmouth scramble that ended with substitute Alfie Lloyd scoring the equaliser.
“It was a game of two halves,” Cifuentes said. “I think definitely Sheffield [Wednesday] were better than us in the first half. We miss a little bit of quality in our build-up.
“We had some unnecessary turnovers that changed the momentum.
“We were never on the floor. Even if we are two goals down, three goals down, this team will never give up.
“That is a very important thing for us, the resilience, because we know in this league, not even the best teams in this league will manage to gather 95 minutes of momentum. That doesn’t exist in this league.”
Owls boss Danny Rohl wasn’t happy with what happened in the build-up to the equaliser.
He said: “We have to talk about the situation, the way we come to the corner. I think it starts with a foul on [Anthony] Musaba. We didn’t get the free-kick. Then we make the foul. We cannot do.
“You have to stay behind, nothing happens. And I think by the corner, I don’t really know what happens, [there were] a lot of players around.
“The performance for me was a huge step forward. We created chances, we had ball winning situations, we were much more compact.”
