The game went iZungu himself said some of his side’s players thought the game was over when they were leading 3-0 but praised the side’s spirit.

Zungu said:

“I think we lost concentration. I think some thought the game was over, but it’s football. I would like to salute Linas because they gave us a good match with a good fight. I know it’s a presumed inferior team, but we can only learn from it. We had already experienced this against Guingamp.

“This is something we must not forget to improve. It’s football, it’s never over. Today, the most important thing for us is to move on to the next round. At 3-3, we just motivated each other to continue. On penalties, we knew that our goalkeeper could stop penalties.”
