Artem MILEVSKYY, Dynamo forward:
- The game was really nervous for us and for our supporters. Probably we were lmore lucky today than the Irish team. This match proves that we should never relax. We have to fight till the end. It’s still very difficult for us to play without mistakes. We will take them all into account.

Badr El KADDOURI, Dynamo defender:
- In the closing minutes of the match Drogheda tried to put us under the pressure. The Irish team did everything possible to get closer to our goal. So, it was extremely complicated to oppose and to cope with their long passes. That is why we needed the whole team's help at that moment. Meanwhile only four defenders continued putting up resistance to Drogheda. Even if there are mistakes, we have to rely on our partners. However, we are satisfied with the result as we have advanced to the next stage.

Shane ROBINSON, Drogheda midfielder:
- We were really disappointed after the match, I can't put it into words. Lots of people said we were going to get hammered. But we never doubted ourselves to be honest, we're proud of what we did tonight. We do everything to be professional footballers, we're not amateurs anymore.
