"We struggled the first 10-15 minutes because we excepted them one way but they were different. We adjusted then controlled the game."

"When we scored I had the feeling that we were in control and really for the entire game. We created many chances but unfortunately didn't score them. We conceded one transition in the second half and they were very efficient because they scored. Bit unlucky and we learn from that.

"I was not here in the past but today I think we deserved something more."

"They changed the way they set up so we took time to adapt. But we fought, we had chances and they ended up scoring two goals in two transitions - very efficient. Room to improve, we need to do better.

"It is what it is. Whatever happens we need to react to it. The team had a very good reaction. The second one was tough because it was very close to our equaliser. We kept going and tried to create chances. Not our day but we keep moving forward.

"I felt like we were dangerous on many occasions, even if the finish wasn't there we arrived in dangerous places but not able to play. A word of appreciation to the boys because we kept fighting to the end."
