MIROSLAV DJUKIC ON VIKTORIA GAME:

– I can`t hold any grudges against my team, I praise them on determination and fighting spirit actually. We wanted to score goal needed to progress through but failed. Simply, that`s why Viktoria is through to the next round. It`s not easy to create opportunities against such quality side. It turns out late goal Viktoria scored in Belgrade turned the tables around.
