Partizan boss Aleksandar Stanojevic after the game:
-I think we had a really poor second half, don`t know the reason behind it. Radnicki defended well when they got a player sent-off and it was hard to break them down when they were behind the ball. First half was excellent, we created a lot of opportunities but we have to address the problems we had in our game after the break.
