Partizan boss Gordan Petric after the game:

-We are more pleased now than after the game against Spartak as we picked up three points now. We played better as well and should have scored in the first half. Players are exhausted – Ricardo picked up an injury during the game, Terzic on a training session prior to the game, Traore during the warm-up…We have enough time now to talk about everything that happened over the past three months. I have to say it once again – players did a lot over this period and carried a great weight on their shoulders.
