— The team looked very good until the last second of the match. There were a lot of chances, we could have scored a second goal. The game was difficult, but until the last second everything was under our control.

If someone told us before the match that we would play 1:1, everyone would be happy. I won’t say that we didn’t endure, it was difficult to keep the opponent who went for broke.

- How did you perceive the 5 added minutes?

- There were 5 substitutions on each side, besides, there were injuries, so it's fair.

Yesterday was a difficult day for all of Ukraine, just like today. We read the news and it motivates us. We cannot give up.
