Dečić's first European victory in the history of the club, away against the favored champion of Georgia Dinamo Batumi, a big step towards the 3rd round of qualification for the League of Conferences, but not an iota of euphoria - Tuzana coach Milorad Pekovic stands firmly on the ground after 0:2 at the beautiful "Ađirabet arena".

"We only worked the first half. The victory in Batumi is important because of self-confidence," Peković pointed out.

The rematch is already in six days, on Tuesday evening near Gorica.

"We will try to rest well and prepare for the second match. Dinamo is a good team, it was difficult to play with them, but we achieved the plan. We knew from the beginning that we had to defend well, that we had to stand well, cover space and "Let's be aggressive. I'm happy with how we looked," Peković added.

Ilir Camaj and Vuk Strikoviću knocked out the champion of the country that played in the European Championship after some nice actions.

"An important victory. We played in a nice stadium in a good atmosphere and achieved a good result," Peković concluded.
