Glenavon manager Michael O'Connor said he was happy with how his side performed but was left disappointed with the result after the Lurgan Blues' 1-0 loss against Portadown at Shamrock Park.
Luke Wilson's header broke the deadlock in the first half with the away side unable to find a leveller, despite having multiple good chances.
O'Connor's side were aiming to register back-to-back victories for the first time this season after an impressive win over Linfield last weekend, but the result means they remain six points adrift at the bottom of the Irish Premiership.
"I thought we were the better team," O'Connor told BBC Sport NI.
"The goal comes from a corner. We have shown the boys clips of how Portadown are really dangerous from corners, but I thought from then onwards there was only one team looking to play forward and looking dangerous.
"I am happy with the performance and how they went about it, but I am disappointed with the result as it is all about getting three points at this point of the season."
Glenavon will welcome Dungannon Swifts who have lost just one of their last six games, to Mourneview Park in their final game of 2025 on Tuesday.
Despite Rodney McAree's side's impressive form, O'Connor is optimistic that his team can come away with three valuable points.
"If you look at our home form since I have come in, we have won four out of five," O'Connor continued.
"At home we always look to pick up maximum points. Our away form this season, we have lost every game.
"If you look against Portadown, if we keep playing like that and add more quality in the last third, I think we will be alright."
