Balkan Boyz manager -Ljepoje- could not look. On 68 minutes, Hasan Salihamidžić had the chance to seal a dream start in the CL semi-finals for his team, only for his penalty to be blocked by Malay Ultras goalkeeper, Victor Hugo Vidal. The game ended in a draw and Balkan Boyz manager -Ljepoje- walked away quite disappointed with a point when they had a chance to take all three.

Manager -Ljepoje- was left bitterly disappointed with the 2-2 draw, and in a short post-game interview he said, "I just can't believe it, I'm so disappointed at them all, I'm at a loss for words. The whole team underperformed and the star players didn't deliver tonight, I don´t know what was on their mind you know. First, they want to play the CL finals, but to be able to play in the finals - you have to win the semi-final, and we surely didn't win. Second, they think that they can settle down with a draw and that it´s okey, you know - it isn´t! Third, they are all players playing at an high level, and as such you need to perform 100% in every game, despite if you play against a weaker opposition or not, you have to give 100% if not 120% in this kind of games since they are of crucial importance".

The return will be played on Thuesday at "Balkan Boyz Stadium", starting at 20.30CET.
