FCSB could not cope with Zagreb and she was defeated of Dinamoscore 1-4, in stage number 7 of the main Europa League group. At the end of the game, Josip Misic (31 years old), the Croatian captain, spoke about the game played by his team.

Josip Misic: “We knew we were a better team than our opponents”
After the game in which he managed to provide a decisive assist for one of the goals scored by Dinamo Zagreb, Josip Misic declared himself satisfied with the game of his team and believes that Dinamo was much better than FCSB and the victory is deserved.
“Three very important points. In short, we had to win today. Thank God we did. We knew we were a better team than our opponents and I think we showed that on the pitch, winning deservedly 4–1. After the second goal we stopped a little bit, there was maybe a little nervousness on the psychological level, because we knew that the victory would bring us a lot. However, in the second half we played a manly game and deservedly won.”
The midfielder also noted the champion's best player in the duel on “Maksimir”. He considers Darius Olaru, the captain of the champion, the most dangerous player in the red-blue camp. The Romanian was integral, but did not have a contribution to the only goal scored by FCSB.
“It's true, we knew he was their best player. But at half-time we figured out how to block him and I think the second half was much better“, said Josip Misic, captain of Dinamo Zagreb, according to sportke.jutarnji.hr.
