MIROSLAV DJUKIC AFTER BACKA GAME:

– I`m quite pleased with our performance. We started the game fine but lost confidence when we conceded. We dominated after the break had our share of opportunities and deserved to win. I would like to praise my team for desire and fighting spirit shown after one tough midweek European game.
