After tonight’s match, the head coach Vinko Marinović said:

“In the first half, the Germans had the ball possession, which we expected and wanted to withstand their initial pressure. It was good enough until that one situation, when Germany came to the advantage. We played well in the second half and had our chances. We were close to score a goal with tries of Danilović and Mustedanagić. It was very close to turn the match in the other direction and get a more positive result. However, Germany was of better quality and I congratulate them on their victory. I also congratulate my players on their fighting. I thank the audience who supported us today in a truly extraordinary way.”
