After the 1-0 away defeat, the two head coaches, Tamás Pető and István Szabó, gave their assessment on the game.
Tamás Pető:
"It was not a nice match today, the stakes were very high, unfortunately we came out of it badly. We conceded a goal because of a mistake, but I don't want to blame our goalkeeper for the defeat, because we had our chances, the missed penalty and Petrov's header. We have put ourselves in a very difficult situation with this defeat, but only we can pull ourselves out of this hole. It's hard to explain the reasons, unfortunately our last three games have been very poor. We had organisation and compactness, we defended well, the opponents didn't have big chances, but they still scored a goal to win this match, which was otherwise a draw."
István Szabó:
"We had a game plan that worked for 65-70 minutes. We tried to play high, to push aggressively and to take advantage of the encouragement of our crowd. But then we made some mistakes and we didn't use our superiority well, so we had to be nervous at the end, but I congratulate the guys because they put a lot of work into the game and even if it was close, I think we deserved to win."
