The Buccaneers were thumped 4-1 at the hands of Zamalek in their final Group B encounter on Sunday night, which meant they had to settle for second spot.
However, Tinkler feels his side never really got back into the game, following their "poor start" against Zamalek.
"We started poorly and allowed Zamalek to play and conceded an early goal," Tinkler said after the game.
"We tried to come back but then allowed them to take back the lead through poor defending from us.
"At half time we tried to explain the importance of playing tight but we conceded a second third goal which sealed our fate.
