Bangor manager Lee Feeney said his side are “hurting” after Success Edogun’s 94th minute goal secured all three points for Ballymena United at Clandeboye Park.
An own goal from Reece Neale and Matthew Clarke’s strike gave Ballymena a 2-0 lead, but the Seasiders responded and netted through Ben Arthurs and Jay Boyd.
However, the goals weren’t done there as, deep into additional time, Edogun converted Clarke’s cross from close range.
“The boys are hurting in there and rightly so because they gave everything,” Feeney told BBC Sport NI.
“I thought we could have gone on and won the game, and I think most people in the ground would have thought that.
“We know football isn’t like that and sometimes be smart, and the cross came in, it should never have come in.”
Edogun’s goal is the second stoppage time winner that the Seasiders have been defeated by recently after conceding in the closing stages of their match against Carrick Rangers in the last round of Premiership fixtures.
Despite a tough couple of weeks, Bangor sit sixth in the table, ahead of the Sky Blues on goal difference.
“That’s the disappointing thing, their three goals are so avoidable,” Feeney continued.
“We have been defending well, but it is a sucker punch to concede again in the last minute.”
