Boss Zoran Mirkovic after the game:

– We played well against one strong opponent. We were disciplined all the way through and showed a lot of aggression but found ourselves in a defensive block for most of the game and failed to impose our style of play. That`s something we need to fix if we want to be competitive with big teams. This win is more than welcome as it`s important for team`s confidence.
