Partizan boss Aleksandar Stanojevic after the game:

-Comfortable win, we controlled the game all the way. I`m pleased with us winning first game after the winter break against ever uncomfortable opponent.

I`m glad Jovic scored. That`s good for his confidence but more importantly he played well. Holender plays good and simple football, he had several opportunities and seized one. I`m pleased with his performance too. I`m happy for Lazar Markovic as well. We need to be cautious with him as he lacks continuity.

Fixture list is congested but we have lots of players on rotation. We are away to Novi Pazar next, they battle to beat the drop so it`s going to be tough, but it always is.
