Partizan boss Aleksandar Stanojevic after the game:

-We can`t be pleased. We played well in the first half and had great opportunities we failed to convert. Crvena Zvezda took advantage after the break through a set-piece game. Simply, we didn`t handle second half well and didn`t threat as we did in the first 45.
