– In the second period, the game clearly turned for us when we were able to play with superiority, Nzoko referred to IFK Patrik Raitanen to drive out.
Inter head coach Vesa Vasara had calmed down after the game.
– The numbers are a little flattering, because the game was not easy. Now we are moving forward one match at a time and aiming for a place in the upper secondary series, Vasara summed up.
