"We did not enter the game properly. And, as a result, we quickly conceded goals. After that, the morale of the team dropped.

In the second half, we gave it our all to turn the result around, but we failed. The first goal is always hard to achieve, but it’s not easy to score the second one either. Especially when the opponent has many quality players in their lineup.

At halftime, the coach motivated us a lot. And we gave it our all in the second half. It’s a pity that it was only enough for one goal,” said Hoxha.
