Partizan boss Aleksandar Stanojevic after the game:
-Spartak is exceptional team, they picked up their form and play much better lately. Pitch surface was tough to play on, uneven, it was hard to set the play but we won showing character at the end. Spartak has great players and coach who set them up nicely, we expected this. It`s hard to win here but we were all on a required level today.
