He said in a post-match interview:

"We should have done better in the moments of the game where things were open.

"I think there was space enough for us to be able to play. I'm not satisfied with the way we took care of the ball, we gave it away too easy. I think we played too hectic, especially at the beginning of the game.

"There were defensive moments as well where we don't look solid enough. Overall, not a good enough performance."
