- This was not supposed to be such an easy match, it was through the whole game visible that Borac are missing some of their most important players. I happy because my team has today played a good match, they’ve done everything as we’ve agreed before the match. I am also satisfied because of young players showing what they can too. We’ve confirmed favorite role and 3 points are staying in Prešov.
Dainis Kristopans, Tatran’s player:
- We were following directions from our coach and played really well today. I am glad that all players had a chance to play today and we brought this match to final win.
Igor Rađenović, Borac’ coach:
- It was really visible that we are currently missing some of our most important players and it was, today, only good enough to keep up with Tatran for 15 minutes. We’ve on the other side had a good chance to rotate our players and give everyone a chance. Congratulations to Tatran! I wish them luck in future!
Davorin Vujović, Borac’ player:
- Tatran were really good today and they’ve deservedly won with such a high goal difference. Unfortunately we were not playing with our best roster today and if we did match would surely be more interesting. I wish Tatran all the best.
