I believe that we were better than Shakhtar throughout the match, but we lost to our opponent in concentration, especially during set pieces. The goal was the result of a very, very childish mistake.
We work in a group before each match, everyone has their specific task that they perform during set pieces. To be honest, I am very angry right now because we clearly lacked that concentration to win today,” — said Rotan at the post-match press conference.
