"In the first half, we were not aggressive enough on the ball, we did not show enough desire to win the contest and acted without the ball in general, so we lost the first half.

As for the second half, I have no complaints about the team. There were several counterattacks by Polissia, which, fortunately for us, did not end in anything serious. We created a lot of chances in the second half, but we were unlucky to score. We could have scored two or three times, but the opponent's goalkeeper was on top of his game. In my opinion, we lacked a little bit of composure in the final phase.

However, I am completely satisfied with the way my team reacted to a good first half. This is a lesson for us, from which we can learn a lot to keep working and improving every day," Pushic' s words are quoted by Shakhtar's official website.
