“It feels bad, but the goalkeeper played a fantastic match,” said MFF coach Milos Milojevic after the match.
Edvinas Gertmonas himself said that the home team had no real dangers.
— They had some chances at the beginning. Otherwise it was mostly posts.
It is noteworthy that Malmö FF failed to score on the Lithuanian goalkeeper during two games. This despite the goalkeeper being injured.
— I was in so much pain in my right foot that our doctors told me I could only use my left. It was the hardest match of my life because I couldn’t use my favorite foot. But Malmö mostly played around the ball and crossed, so I wasn’t too worried about us conceding a goal.
Coach Vladimir Cheburin:
— 1-0 at home and 2-0 away says it all. Malmö is a very good team with many individually skilled players, but there was probably something not right at the same time as we did well.
Regardless of what happens in the next round against Bodö/Glimt, a Lithuanian club team is playing European group stage for the first time ever.
— We have knocked on the door four times. Now it was the fifth, concludes the coach.
