Miroslav Djukic after the game:

– It`s three points won that matter but I can`t be pleased with our performance. I understand it`s hard to play these games just after CL qualifier but we didn`t have good attitude nor we showed aggression. We didn`t get anything useful from this game apart from a win. Luckily, we were not punished for such performance. We are not better team if we don`t enter the game with a right attitude
