"It is a great luck that we managed to play against such a great team as Dynamo Kyiv," - Shkendija head coach

Head coach of North Macedonian Shkendija Zheton Bekiri summarised the results of his team's recent control match with Dynamo Kyiv (1:1).

"It is a great luck that at the preparatory training camp you play with such a team as Dynamo Kyiv. We should be happy that we have the opportunity to play with such great teams, because the level of their game does not compare with the level of our team and the level of the championship teams of North Macedonia.

I believe that we got the most out of the match with Dinamo, and the game was worth it, regardless of the result, regardless of the situations that arose in the game. Matches with opponents of such level are important because they give you a more realistic idea of your team's capabilities. I am satisfied with the dedication of the players, which they showed in the sparring with Dinamo, but most of all I am happy that after the end of this match we have no injured players," the official website of Shkendija quoted Bekiri as saying.
