Vrsaljko: It was easier after the first goal

Dinamo players were satisfied after the match: - The game was really tough, especially the first half. We couldn't go through their defense, but everything became easier after we scored the first goal. We won because we played better. - said Ivan Tomečak.

- This victory is important for us and we are very happy. We've created some serious chances in the second half, scored two goals and won. Rijeka played offensively and our victoy wasn't questioned. We deserved to win. - agreed with his teammate Luis Ibanez.

Nikola Pokrivač played the whole match: - This game wasn't easy for us; Rijeka pulled back in their half and we needed to create offensive play. We weren't so concentrated from the beginning of the match, but after the 45 minutes we went ahead and scored. I'm glad we won in this important match. -

Due to the suspension Šime Vrsaljko didn't play in the last Champions League matches but he was great against Rijeka: - The most important thing is that we won. I must admit that Rijeka played hard and it was not easy for us to break their defense. The match became easier for us after the first goal and then we scored for the second time. I had some assists tonight and I'm happy because of that. I'm really sorry I couldn't play in Champions League matches and I'm looking forward the next game of the most beautiful football competition. -
