FC sheriff head coach Goran Sablic on the game against Torpedo Kutaisi:

Good evening. We played a nice game today. We controlled the game well, we were good in the game with and without the ball. Everyone knew his task and our counterattacks worked well. But we created three absolute moments at our goals. Those were individual mistakes and Torpedo scored twice. On the other hand, I'm glad the team looked good in physical sense. We have a second leg ahead and I'm sure we will gain points. We have chances. We will make everything to win. I'm certain, we will make the result that will let us go further.

Why the team looked better in the second half?
We could feel the game and changed the plan: we began to play with two forwards. We had a better ball-posession, but, unfortunately, made mistakes that we shouldn't have to at such level.

What can you say about Torpedo?
Torpedo is an experienced team that likes ball posession. They grew stronger with several players. More than that, it's difficult to play at this stadium. I didn't expect a defeat today. If not to consider the rivals' play, we lost due to three individual mistakes I mentioned before. Torpedo just took their advantage of them.
