Psychologically, the team was ready, but Porto pointed out our weaknesses. Movements in defence let us down a bit, but in general the game was almost equal. I do not think that we were inferior somewhere. It's just that Porto used their chances, and that's why the scoreline is like this.
It's sad that we lost. But it's only the first game. We will consider the mistakes and move on," Riznyk said.
