Miroslav Djukic after the game:

– Tough game as we expected it to be. Buducnost is firm side with paceful counter-attack. We dominated from the go but had lots of problems in the first half. We lacked pass and idea. Everything looked much better with introduction of Leonardo. After our opener we had more space but we missed some clear-cut opportunities. We imposed constant pressure on Buducnost, never letting them have a bit of rest.
