Shakhtar were better than us. Today it was a matter of life and death to score the first goal. We could have believed that we would score the first goal and go through. Unfortunately our opponent scored the first goal. The mountain we had to climb became a bit steeper. The opponent was better than us and made better use of the moments. Their fans deserve praise. Our fans also supported us very well here."
