Christian Ilzer commented on the defeat in the second leg of the third round of Champions League qualification.
Sturm is one step away from beating Dynamo Kyiv in the third round of Champions League qualification. This is what the head coach of the Austrian club, Christian Ilzer, said.
In a press conference following the match, the coach of the team from Graz praised his wards for the game shown in front of the home stand.
“It was a perfectly balanced game, the teams were on level. There were stages where we were better, and there were stages where Dynamo was better.
We had the initiative, everything was fine. But then we couldn’t score the second goal, although we had good chances in the 60th minute.
A little is not enough to bring such a strong opponent to his knees. We brought them to the brink of defeat and relegation. One thing is not enough. This is the difference between Sturm and Dynamo. I am proud of the team, but we are disappointed and upset,” Ilzer was quoted as saying by Kleine Zeitung.
It will be remembered that Dynamo beat the Austrian Sturm 2:1 on the road. The Kyiv team scored both goals in extra time. Today, in the playoffs of the tournament qualifiers, the Kyivans will meet with Benfica.
Earlier, the head coach of the Ukrainian club, Mircea Lucescu, said how difficult the match against Sturm was for his wards.
