We played well until the goal was awarded – Coach Sturma

Christian Ilzer summarizes the results of the first match of the Champions League qualification against Dynamo.

Sturm played well in the first minutes of the match against Dynamo, but a missed goal changed everything. Christian Ilzer, the head coach of the team from Graz, spoke about this in the post-match press conference.

However, the coach of the Austrian team did not sprinkle ashes on his head, and promised to correct the negative result for his team in the second match.

“We don’t underestimate Dynamo. But we didn’t show on the pitch the dynamism we showed against Salzburg. We had a good 20 minutes where we should have taken the lead.

I know that Dynamo is a big favorite, I spoke about it in the pre-match press conference. Everything was perfect until the missed ball. The goal we received confused us.

Dynamo then showed control and class, but were never dangerous. The Kievans tried to slow down the game in the second half and close the space to give us a sense of possession. But they expected a counterattack.

We lack the quality, dynamism and freshness to play defensively. We want to correct this result, and again I expect a compact game from the Kiev team. We continue to believe in sensation. Dynamo has become a more effective team in terms of opportunities. We knew how we had to fight the people of Kiev, but we failed. But it’s not a bad game. I can correctly assess the alignment of forces,” Ilzer was quoted as saying by the Kleine Zeitung.

It can be remembered that Dynamo defeated Sturm in the first match of the third qualifying round of the Champions League. The match, which took place in Lodz, ended with a score of 1:0.
