Antonio Adan was partly at fault as Atletico Madrid wasted a one-goal lead away at Girona, where they drew 1-1 in the first leg of their Copa del Rey tie.
Los Rojiblancos could only leave with a draw, but Adan wanted to focus on the positives and not on his unsuccessful attempt at saving Choco Lozano's goal.
"It was a ball that was difficult to deal with because of the wind," Adan said afterwards.
"In the last 20 minutes of the first half it was complicated by the wind.
"They put in several crosses and it was unfortunate."
Despite playing away from home in the first leg, Atleti will be disappointed not to have taken a win back to Madrid, but the goalkeeper disagrees.
"It is positive because it gives us an advantage in the second leg," he added.
"Obviously we wanted more, especially because of how we started the game.
"It leaves a bittersweet taste, but we take an advantage back with us."
Diego Simeone's side knew the game was going to be tough, and they will be looking to make home advantage count at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.
"It's a tough team and a difficult stadium," he said of Girona.
"We knew it and we prepared for it.
"It's good that it is a two-legged tie and now we can play in our home stadium and we have to win."
That second leg takes place next Wednesday.

The problem is that we are badly used to oblack and when they put a goal like that ...

She's a scandalous sung, friend Adam. I think Lozano does not even want to finish and the wind accompanies the ball. You have portrayed yourself, majo. Good luck for the next one and do not justify yourself. It is a bit ridiculous.

There was quite a bit of wind, but my friend Adam, when he played with us, he did not give me much confidence, I know you are a good goalkeeper and I saw him in Betis, but I know that I am used to watching Oblak but that was stopped by the Slovenian with the tip.
