Partizan boss Mirkovic after the game:

– It was physically demanding game against one firm opponent and under tough weather conditions. Rain didn`t help both team`s performance. We did some good things until the hour mark, kept focus, had possession and fine opportunities but we lacked finishing touch once again. We were short of Ricardo, Pantic and Ivanovic due to their respective injuries. We hope Ricardo will be back in a day or two, Pantic couple of days later but Ivanovic will be sidelined for a bit more.
