The head coach of the Austrian Sturm, Christian Ilzer, commented on the defeat of his team by Dynamo Kyiv (0:1) in the first match of the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League, which took place yesterday in Lodz, Poland.
“We absolutely can work with such a result of the first match! Today we wanted to achieve just such a result that would leave us every chance in the second leg to advance to the next round. And we have solved this problem. Especially when you consider that the away goals rule no longer applies. So we will do our best to tip the scales in our favor next week.
As for today's match, in general, Dynamo Kyiv deserved to win. Including because we did not use our scoring chances," Ilzer said after the end of the match with Dynamo.
Recall that the return match between Dynamo and Sturm will take place next Tuesday, August 9, in Graz.
