Dnipro-1 failed to score against AEK in two matches of the 1/16 finals of the Conference League
Head coach of the Cypriot AEK Jose Luis Oltra commented the result of the confrontation with the Dnieper-1 in the 1/16 finals of the Conference League.
“I am very happy that we managed to keep a positive result today and go to the next round, because today is really a historic day for everyone: for the players, for the staff, for the fans, for the coaches, and for the journalists, and for everything Cyprus. The players played very well and I want to thank them for an incredible performance.”
“It was difficult for us at several points. There were literally two or three of them, but we managed to get out of the pressure and demonstrate our game. I also want to say that first of all we dedicate our result to the fans who came to Kosice today.
“As for Dnipro-1, their defense was very tight and we had few chances after which we could score a goal. In addition, after several dangerous attacks, we lacked the finishing pass to make a scoring chance. In Dnipro-1, excellent players, highly qualified professionals and the absence of Artem Dovbik affected the game today, because he is a star forward. I wish this team good luck in the future.”
According to the sum of two matches, the Dnipro team failed to pass AEK from Larnaca (0:1, 0:0). The winning goal was an accurate shot by Angel Garcia in the first meeting of the teams in Cyprus.
