Partizan boss Aleksandar Stanojevic after the game:

-Truly incredible first half, I don`t remember us having this many chances since I took over. I`d like to praise my players for creating so much opportunities but we should have scored more goals and finish the game off before the break. Vojvodina scored from their only opportunity of the game so I have to be pleased with our defending as well. We controlled the game all the way.
