– First of all, congratulations and praise for my players, they really played well today, especially in the first half in which we had, I don’t know exactly, 17 shots on goal. You could see the desire, the will, the game plan… Malten, they didn’t cross our center. We guarded their striker well. In particular, Marija Milinković and Maja Hrelja did a good job in defense. Of course, we didn’t score a goal – a little bit and the energy drops. You could feel the end of the season, you could also feel a little tired in the second half – said coach Selver Hodžić.
