- An interesting match was performed. The crowd, probably, liked this encounter very much. In the first half it was very difficult for both teams, due to the unbearable heat. Therefore the game was also very slow and not dynamic enough. In the second half everything changed. We stepped on the pitch in quite a different mood.

The goalkeeper Koval’ deserves the best words. I think, that he is a main “hero” of today’s good result. We should have played in more aggressive manner in the first half. There were a few goal-scoring opportunities before the half-time break, but neither Adriano nor Jadson were persistent enough and looked more like amateurs, than professionals. And the goal conceded, probably, is quite optional one – due to the Darijo’s mistake. Again because players treated the situation superficially and were too much relaxed. Darijo felt his fault, playing quite the other way in the second half, created a lot of scoring opportunities, was aggressive in attacking efforts, making much more passes into the penalty area.

Naturally, every team use all the possibilities in order to keep a positive result. But I think that delay in time demonstrated today by our opponents, in Europe would be punishable. On the whole I greet Metalurh with one point, they conquered today. It is very important for them. They were so glad, as if won the championship. But Metalurh must not be satisfied with the draw result, but play in the way to defeat Shakhtar and other teams. Then in Europe they will also have certain prospectives. Thank you.
