Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard conceded frustration after England's 2-2 draw with Ecuador.
Lampard was captain for the friendly.
"I didn't know what to expect," he said. "We wanted to try and play at a competitive level.
"This was our first proper game in these conditions. We trained yesterday but you can't compare that to a match.
"They gave a lot to the game. I think we maybe tired towards the back end of it but there was a lot of good stuff before that.
"We started the game brilliantly and it was really upsetting actually to go 1-0 down because we could have been one or two up by then.
"But we carried that on in the first half and some of our forward play, like balls flashing across the box, looked really sharp.
"Then, when you have gone 2-1 ahead, it was a bit disappointing that we didn't see it out and win the game."
