Partizan boss Zoran Mirkovic after the game:

– We played a great deal of second half player short due to a sending-off. We played well in the first half creating opportunities but failing to convert them. Same goes for part of the second half before sending-off. Boys battled, did their best but they fatigue caught up with them at the end. I can be pleased with our performance, not with the result.
