Ján Haspra (head coach of MFK Ružomberok): „I saw it as a completely balanced match. It was like a home match with Sofia. The game was balanced. We have found ourselves in two quite promising situations, but we have not used them. Again, just like in our home, the opponent scored a goal, which was not to happen but happened. Before the second half we wanted to break the match with one goal again. We did not succeed, but in my opinion the performance was solid during our match. We were not afraid of Levski Sofia. It is a pity the second goal in the end, which has not decided on anything but it would be nice to score at least in Sofia.”
