I congratulate the boys on the victory, and Kustošija on a fair match. I think we were good throughout the entire encounter, although there were naturally moments when the opponent pressed us, which is normal when a team is losing, highlighted Dinamo B coach Jerko Leko after the victory against Kustošija in Lučko.

– But we controlled that well, we didn't give them easy chances. They had one big opportunity. I can see that we are growing, I'm pleased that the boys are maturing. You saw after the match that three, four players collapsed... That means the effort was enormous. They are clashing with senior football, they're reacting excellently so far and we must maintain that. There will be oscillations, but they understand what they need to do, what they must improve, they work on it and that's why there are fewer and fewer mistakes and we are becoming more and more effective. What pleases me most is that we are becoming more mature. We calmly brought the match to an end, I think we were also physically better, you could see that they couldn't apply additional pressure on us at the end.

Young Maksimir striker Lovre Kulušić made his final appearance for Dinamo B on this occasion.

– I would especially like to thank Kulušić for everything. He is now leaving us, after Marko Zebić he is also going on loan to the HNL. But Leonardo Perković and Mislav Ćutuk are here.

The hero of the match was the scorer of the only goal, Gabrijel Šivalec, who with a masterful move curled the ball into the top corner.

– Well, Šivalec has that feeling, that move... He fought excellently for position. This was a good performance from him, and he needs to keep proving himself. Those players who prove themselves and who are consistent will have a greater chance to reach the level that everyone wants. Everyone has the quality to play first league, but we're looking higher. Overall, we can be satisfied with today's performance – concluded coach Leko.
