Plzeň scored two goals on the pitch of their opponent, nevertheless, they did not reach the victory. The Swiss FC Lugano made it to score three times. The coach Pavel Vrba evaluated the causes of this defeat.
„The match was too slow of our side, our opponent was successful in thickening the space and they punished us after their fast breaks. Our faults in the midfield made the match easier for Lugano and they deserved to win 3-2. I think the match also showed some important things. The players who were given more space today did not perform what I excepted. I know it can be more difficult for some of them if they play after two-months recovery from their injury, on the contrary, I simply wanted more,“ Vrba comments right after the match.
The situation in the group G became simple. The leading team FCSB stay unbeaten, the other teams have all 3 points. „We´re at the beginning again. We´ve got the advantage to play the next two matches at home. Lugano got back in the game by this win and it caused we´ll fight for the 2nd place until the end,“ Pavel Vrba thinks.
