ROME, March 2 (Xinhua) -- Napoli head coach Rafa Benitez said he was disappointed following his side were held to a 1-1 draw at Livorno on Sunday.

Dries Mertens converted a penalty to put the visitors 1-0 ahead, but seven minutes later Ibrahima Mbaye capitalized on Pepe Reina's blunder to equalize.

The draw left Benitez apparently irritated, as he expected a win.

"In the first half the team controlled the game and we should've made more of our domination. It was a game we should' ve won and there are regrets," he said.

He suggested that Napoli could fail to fulfil their aim for this season if they carry on this way.

"I prefer not to talk about the table, but taking it one game at a time. If we don't win games like this, then it's unthinkable to discuss certain placements," he said.

"I am disappointed, with everyone," he added.
