Partizan boss Aleksandar Stanojevic after the game:
-It was tough from the start, we missed three clear-cut opportunities and tension was there as a result. But, we controlled the game, scored timely and I have to be pleased. It wasn`t the best of performances but we have international break behind us where we lost a bit of pace. In general, I`m pleased with our performance.
Our approach was good, we were focused and serious about our business. I`m not happy with slow pace at times and ball being sent back too often. But, when you win 3-0, you have to be satisfied.
