The Coach also believes certain episodes in the match made the difference in determining its outcome.

“Episodes made the difference. Last year we suffered but then went ahead. This year however we didn’t score through Maccarone, the foul by Tomovic he was the last man.

“Everything became more complicated, especially after the second goal.”
