Post-game quotes:
Jeronimo Šarin, coach of Dubrava: “I think we got a quality and experienced team like Vienna easier than expected. We can be satisfied with the fact that we managed to share the minutes as much as possible, and with an aggressive and fast game, we achieved victory. We hope that we will continue this beautiful streak in the following matches.”
Dario Kuzmanović, player of Dubrava: “Congratulations to my teammates because we fulfilled the coach’s requirements for this match from the first minute. The togetherness that we have recently shown has raised us to a higher level, which can be seen in the results.”
Hrvoje Radanović, coach of Vienna: “I congratulate my players who, despite certain problems with injuries, played as much as they could. Today we played with a young Dubrava team that played aggressively from start to finish, and I can congratulate coach Šarin and the club on the selection of players. I believe that the match in Vienna in a month will be much better from our side and with a better outcome for us.”
Davor Konjević, player of Vienna: “We came weakened, and in the first part, Bajo got injured, so we couldn’t match the energy of Dubrava. We are waiting for the return of the injured players, and then we hope for a better game.”
