HOUSTON, June 26 (Reuters) - ⁠Saudi Arabia's inability to hold the ⁠ball and create attacking chances doomed the ‌team in a goalless draw with Cape Verde at Houston Stadium on Friday in their final World Cup ​Group H match, coach Georgios ⁠Donis said.

• "We were very ⁠poor in creating actions. One cannot win a ⁠game ‌this way," he said.

• He added that Saudi Arabia had problems putting ⁠pressure on Cape Verde's backline aside from ​a short ‌period of time in the second half.

• "Our ⁠line ​of attack was not doing well. Our greatest problem today was creation and this was self ⁠evident."

• Donis praised his players, ​saying the World Cup journey was a good experience but he would need to reassess the ⁠performance down the road.

• "It was not what we wanted because when playing in such a match against a team more or less ​the same level of us ⁠our level was not good. This gives cause ​for concern," he said.

• "The ‌journey was good and I ​would like to thank the players."
