Partizan caretaker boss Zarko Lazetic after the game:

–This was psychologically tough game for us in every sense. Over the opening 15 or 20 mins we didn`t achieve what we planned, there was lots of wrong passes due to tension and poor pitch surface. After we scored the opener we found it much easier. I`m pleased our team managed a good performance considering all the turmoil.
