Paulo Sousa saw his side win in extra time after a double strike from Nemanja Nikolics
The players went through serious stress by the fact that the game lasted 120 minutes. The cup draw was not lucky for us, just as it wasn't for Haladas. We had the chance at the beginning to go ahead in the game. We could have saved our strength had we managed to do that, but ended up battling for the entire match. We showed once again that we could fight to the last breath, which in this match resulted in us going through to the next round.
I would like to congratulate Videoton on going through! We planned to hit then on the attack from our defending. Sadly we were not able to score a goal from this. I felt that Rado could have settled the game in the 75th minute, but his shot ended up hitting the post. Videoton FC ended up having more stamina in extra time, and deservedly fought their way through to the next round. I did feel that we managed to make things hard for them in the game.
