ABOUT THE MATCH

“We knew that we were playing against a very strong team, it was noticeable on the field, we saw very intense football, they were favorites before the match, and it remained that way. I think we played well, at the end of the match we looked better.

It is in the matches against such teams that we can more clearly see our mistakes and work more correctly in the future. In general, I am satisfied with the work of the guys, I think we played good football, it will be very difficult, but to some extent we have retained the opportunity to advance to the next round."

- Did you expect such a game from NK Maribor?

- Of course, we expected, this is a really strong team, they play very well both in attack and defense, what we expected happened on the field.
