— The game is an injustice. Football is not fair. We tried, we pushed, and unfortunately, it didn't happen, I speak in various aspects. Because throughout the game they did nothing to achieve this result. But we know that's how it is, now we have to keep our heads up, move forward, and put emotion into our football — stated Lino in the mixed zone.
