- I was very worried at that moment. I did not have time to react - I reflexively put my head, and the ball hit my hand. At that moment I just did not have time to react. The kick was very strong. It was a 100 per cent penalty. Thank God that luck turned to us. Because we worked so hard in the second half that we deserved to win, - Stepanenko said.
