Speaking after the match, Björkegren noted, “I think we have a team that works so hard. Of course, when they had fresh legs in the first half, it was easier. We were completely dominating the game. In my opinion, we were better.”
He added, “In the end, we were just fighting to stay in the game. But what can you expect when you have a game so close to this one? Yeah, I’m proud of what the team gave.”
