No one was speaking of disrespect after this tense, scrappy cup match, played mostly in foul conditions.

Perhaps the pressure of the cup match was too much.

The reigning champ failed to make the cut, then 48 hours later finished last in his section in the first cup match.

And so we had an evenly contested cup match that went all the way to extra time and could easily have gone either way.

I had clipped up a losing performance in a cup match.
