"We had to believe. Many teams in the history of football have come back in difficult situations. In football, nothing is over until the final whistle blows.

Regarding my first goal in the match, I have to constantly watch the ball, and that push from the Ukrainian national team defender — I needed to free myself from the opponent.

This victory should be a foundation for us. As a team, we worked well. We will gather again in June, and our task then will be to take 6 points out of 6. I hope we will have more time to prepare," Lukaku said.
