Marino Pušić: "When you play well in the first half, dominate and then get a goal out of nothing... It's not easy to break down

Shakhtar's head coach Marino Pušić commented on his side's defeat to Dnipro-1 in the Ukrainian Premier League match.

- "We played the first half very well. And when you play well in the first half, dominate, create a lot of chances to score the second, third goal and increase the gap, and then get a goal in return literally from nothing, from a corner, these goals are very expensive. It changed the pace and mood of the game.

We tried to change the rhythm of the game with the help of substitutions, to attack, because it is very difficult for the team when you concede two goals in a row - one very good goal from a set piece, from a free kick, and one from 25 metres into the left corner. It is not easy to break down such a wall. There are several options to do it, but we didn't use them," Pushic was quoted as saying by Shakhtar's official website.
