MIROSLAV DJUKIC AFTER THE GAME:

– First half we played a passing game but never threatened Macva net and there was no flank breaks from our players. Macva is one organized side and they didn`t allow us much space. When we started making flank breaks after the breaks, chances kept coming and we scored goals as well. We often underestimate our league, it`s hard to play against well organized sides.
