Rastislav Trtik, Tatran coach:
Today's game was very interesting. Unfortunately we’ve had only 12 players and we’ve played many games in last 19 days. We did not have a right winger on disposal but tonight but were tactically delivering great performance in the first half with Chupryna shining between bars. In the second half it was visible we’re tired and I see that as the main reason for our defeat. 

Igor Chupryna, Tatran goalkeeper:
We’ve played a competitive match for 40 minutes but then we’ve lost strength. We have a young team so I see this as a good lesson. I think we did not play bad.  

Sergey Bebeshko, Meshkov coach:
We should be positive as the team showed good spirit. We’ve already played 22 or 23 matches this season and so did they so we’ve expected them to fall in tempo in the second half.  Regarding Stojkovic, I should say that he will miss two or three weeks at least after today's injury. We have one more very important game against Vardar and will focus on it.

Vitali Charapenka, Meshkov goalkeeper:
We’ve known that the match will not be easy. Meshkov did not play well in the first half but managed to get better in the second.
