Partizan boss Zoran Mirkovic after the game:

-It was a big battle and I would like to praise both sides for it and for a fair-play game apart from the last five minutes of the game when tension was high. I think draw is fair result. In the first half we were on a required level and determined in all tackles. With the entry of Pavkov we had trouble in the air, our defence moved back some 10 metres, we had to do it. Referee was not up to the occasion, he lost it at some point.
