Ambros Martin: “Every minute of this match felt great. I always say that despite having injured players, the team spirit is wonderful. It was not easy in the first half either, despite the fact that we performed well both in defense and attack, the game was always tight. We can be very satisfied with our performance, we had a tough opponent but we could do our best”
