Cardiff City manager Sabri Lamouchi told BBC Radio Wales:
"Obviously for my first home game I was expecting a different result, but Middlesbrough are a good team fighting for promotion and they have good quality.
"We gave them the first goal and after we equalised, exactly the same, we gave them a goal.
"In the second half we competed more and did everything to come back into the game, but unfortunately it was not enough.
"The opponent was better than us, they played with more confidence and more quality. They probably deserved the three points."
