Miroslav Djukic after the game:

– We took the lead but conceded cheaply later on. We were going after the equalizer but it was more heart than brain job and that makes it all harder. We had our opportunities but got punished for our misses.

I made only one sub as we wanted to play attacking football and no other changes would secure such game. This was the most attacking side we had at the moment.
