Hull head coach Sergej Jakirovic bemoaned the way his side conceded the opening goal in Tuesday's 2-0 Championship defeat by Ipswich Town.
Marcelino Nunez and Chuba Akpom struck in quick succession for the visitors in the second half after Hull squandered multiple chances to score in the opening period.
Nunez was able to drift in between the Tigers' defence to nod home Jaden Philogene's looping cross.
"I can split this game in two parts - until 70 minutes we were almost perfect because we controlled everything, even though Ipswich, in this league, maybe have the best possession," Jakirovic told BBC Radio Humberside.
