Louis van Gaal has not given up on qualifying for the Champions League despite conceding Manchester United missed an opportunity in Tuesdays defeat at West Ham. Manchester United were 14 minutes away from crashing West Hams Boleyn Ground farewell after Anthony Martials double set them on course for a victory that would have seen them leapfrog Manchester City into fourth position.But the Hammers staged a late, stirring comeback on their final outing at their historic ground to seal a 3-2 win, leaving Man Uniteds top-four hopes out of their hands heading into their final-day fixture against Bournemouth. Manchester Uniteds French striker Anthony Martial scored twice It is the same story, we dont have it in our hands but it is still possible, we can still catch Manchester City because they have to beat Swansea and thats not so easy for them, Van Gaal told Sky Sports.Bournemouth (on Sunday) is also not easy because we have to cope with this big disappointment. When you are 1-0 behind and you change it to 2-1 and then lose again its a mental blow. Slaven Bilic said that West Ham were under pressure to win their final game at the Boleyn Ground Of course this is a missed opportunity, you could imagine how thrilled the players and fans and the coach also would have been in this situation. We have to cope with it and at the end we lost 3-2 so we have missed an opportunity.Defeat in East London means Van Gaals side will miss out on qualification for Europes elite-club competition if their cross-city rivals win at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday.Manchester United, whose team coach was attacked en route to the stadium, struggled to cope with a rampant Hammers outfit on an emotionally-charged night.But Van Gaal refused to attribute his sides defeat to the ugly scenes pre-match, and instead highlighted their inability to deal with West Hams aerial threat from set-pieces or retain possession. Manchester United let a 2-1 lead slip We gave set-plays away which they could score from and we had difficulties with set plays, he added.We knew that in advance and, despite being 2-1 ahead, we couldnt managed that. We gave too many fouls away near the 60 meters and that was our problem.It is always difficult, they are good at set plays, the statistics show that and we are small. You have to organise that but still you dont have the centimetres and thats the problem. Manchester Uniteds team coach was attacked as it neared the ground When you are 2-1 you have to keep the ball better than we did. You can look at the set plays but I think we have to keep the ball better.West Hams players did everything to win and you could see that from the first minute. It was a special game and we had to cope with that, we are professional and we have to cope with all of these factors.They were lucky also, when you see how the goals come you have to say they were two set plays and all the threat was only through the set plays.

LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Serbias rough start to the Olympics seems like a long time ago now. Filip Filipovic and company are headed to the mens water polo final, and they got a little revenge along the way.Filipovic, Andrija Prlainovic and Slobodan Nikic scored two goals apiece, and Serbia shut down Italy for a 10-8 victory in the semifinals on Thursday.Serbia was a heavy favorite coming into the tournament, but the world champions played to a draw in each of their first two games and then lost 6-5 to Brazil. It recovered with four straight victories, beginning with a tight 10-8 win against Australia that played a key role in the water polo-crazy country making it out of the preliminary round at all.Serbia also had a chance to get to the final in London, but lost 9-7 to Italy and had to settle for its second straight bronze.Its a really good feeling, Nikic said. After four years, waiting, and then again playing against Italy for the semifinal, it was big revenge for us.Next up is a showdown with defending Olympic champion Croatia, which advanced with a 12-8 victory over Montenegro in the first semifinal. The countries also met in the world championship final last year, with Serbia winning 11-4 in Russia.It was the highest scoring game in Rio for Croatia, which was coming off a 10-6 victory over Brazil in the quarterfinals. Croatia also beat Montenegro 7-5 in the semifinals of the London Games.Its amazing, of course, goaltender Marko Bijac said. I think we still dont think we know what we have done here, but for sure we dont want to stop here.Serbia grabbed control of its semifinal by scoring the first six goals, shutting out Italy all the way to Valentino Gallos goal with 1:52 left in the second quarter.ddddddddddddOur defense was perfect today, Nikic said.Gallo, Christian Presciutti and Alessandro Velotto had two goals apiece for Italy, which beat Greece 9-5 in the quarterfinals.I didnt like our approach to the game, Italy coach Alessandro Campagna said. They play hard on defense, for sure. We knew that. But we play a little shy.Croatia had to go with 12 players after Damir Buric was suspended for one match due to a brutality call in the victory over Brazil. But Andro Buslje and Andelo Setka combined for four goals in the fourth quarter, helping Croatia turn away every push by the Red Sharks.We played without one player. It was more difficult, yeah, but finally every player (gave) his 120 percent and finally we played very (good) game, Croatia driver Javier Garcia Gadea said.Darko Brguljan and Aleksandar Ivovic had three goals apiece for Montenegro, which finished fourth in each of the previous two Olympics. Milos Scepanovic, who made a couple of big plays in Montenegros 13-11 win over Hungary in the quarterfinals, had just two stops.We concede maybe seven, eight goals a game. Today we concede seven goals in the first half, Montenegro coach Vladimir Gojkovic said.If we want to win a medal we must play defense on level (with) how we play until this game.Montenegro got within two goals twice down the stretch, but Setka responded each time for Croatia. Setkas power-play goal with 2:44 left made it 11-8. Buslje capped the scoring with a long range shot with 1:13 remaining.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap ' ' '
