Partizan boss Gordan Petric after the game:

– People keep asking if this was the best Partizan performance since I`m here but I`m not really thinking about it. It`s important boys are focused and go on with their job. We could have scored early in the game but scored two goals midway through the first half after defensive blunders from visitors. I`m pleased how the job was done but boys need to forget this game as soon as possible as we have another big match on Thursday and another chance to prove ourselves.
