Real Betis defender German Pezzella had no excuses after their Europa Conference League defeat at home to Dinamo Zagreb.

Dinamo won the first-leg of their clash 1-0 thanks to Bruno Petkovic's penalty.

Pezzella later said: "Difficult. We deserved much more. These episodes penalise us. They don't hurt us much, a penalty, a goal. It was difficult for us to create .

"We lacked creating clear situations, it is more than clear. We defended well, but this competition is not enough with that alone.

"I keep the reason for myself, but with this in Europe it is not enough and we have to change the chip for the return and have a great game.

"There is one game left and the difference is very short. We will go for the classification."
