Partizan boss Aleksandar Stanojevic after the game:

-We played well from the start, particularly in the first 30 mins of the game, creating enough opportunities along the way but the tension started to mount up as we didn`t score early enough. Macva created some opportunities we should have never allowed. I`m pleased with lots of opportunities created but there are other things we need to fix and get some balance in the game.
