Glentoran boss Declan Devine was left to rue missed chances after a 1-0 defeat by Linfield in the BetMcLean Cup final.
The Glens wasted a host of opportunities before the Blues won it with a penalty deep in extra-time.
KJ Kamson-Kamara brought down Chris McKee, who dusted himself down before slotting home the spot-kick.
"I think we created really good chances and opportunities and with the fine details in games like this you have to take those opportunities," he said.
"Cup finals are about getting that important goal. We've got severely punished for not taking one of those chances because it's the first mistake in the game we've made.
"After working so hard for so long and putting our bodies on the line it's soul destroying.
"It's very raw at the minute, but obviously it's very disappointing to lose and I ca't fault the players because they were outstanding in the game.
"We've a lot of things still to play for but that was a painful way to lose a football game."
