Sunderland lose at Hull in latest friendly
- Published
Summer signing Simon Adingra got his first goal for Sunderland but could not prevent Regis le Bris' side slipping to defeat at Hull in a friendly on Tuesday night.
The 23-year-old swept home a fine finish to give the Black Cats the lead after just 11 minutes but they were pegged back by the Championship side when Nathan Tisdale levelled.
After Le Bris made 10 substitutions, Hull's Abu Kamara slotted home a second-half winner.
Despite the loss, the Sunderland boss was happy with the improvement in his side's performance after they were comprehensively beaten by Hearts on Saturday.
"This evening, I felt we showed improvement across different phases of the game. Of course, we made some mistakes, but that's part of the process," he said.
"It's about finding the right balance between taking risks and playing it safer when necessary."
Sunderland are next in action on Saturday at home to Conference League finalists Real Betis.
