We’ve got to keep fighting for qualification

“What can you do. In theory we could already have qualified now but we failed to win, plus Schalke lost against Sporting. We still continue to be in the first spot, though, and so we need to make sure we win next time. We’re aiming to qualify from the top spot,” said Petr. ¨
As to the match in Maribor, he commented the following: “It was one of those games where you’re doing a pretty decent job and yet you fail to put your opportunities to good use. Our hosts scored a tremendous goal at the beginning of the second half and we were pretty lucky shortly afterwards, when Zahovic overshot an empty goal from 3 yards. That way we were still able to get back into the game properly which led to Matic’s equaliser. We then managed to get in loads of scoring opportunities but their goalie Handanovic was by all means the man of the match."
Handanovic underlined his flawless performance by saving a penalty kick executed by Hazard, one of the very best penalty strikers in the world. “I don’t think he’d ever failed to score this way before but we all make mistakes. We’ve got a point which is definitely something, though we’d been hoping for three. Our hosts played to the limit and therefore might have deserved a bit of the luck they had,” added Petr.
