Post match commentaries

Vardan Minasyan, FC Pyunik head coach

I'm not satisfied with our play in first half, the tension in our play was too strong, in second half we acted in more agressive manner and we had chances to score. I think, the score -0:0 is suitable for us.
Both teams have equal chances in second leg match. I think we will choose counterattacks strategy.



Krunoslav Jurcic, NK Dinamo Zagreb head coach

Of course, I'm not satisfied with this result. We had many chances to score, especially in first half. We have played our just first official match in this season and we have to do more in future. We have a week till the second leg match and we shall try to do our best to use this time for good preparation.
What about FC Pyunik, I have seen the tapes with our rival games' and I'm not astonished with the quality of Pyunik game, who plays with short passes. Very dangerous team, which deserve a respect.
