“The final minutes of the game were intense. We created numerous chances but failed to capitalize on them. It’s a painful defeat,” Zorg stated. “I believe this was one of our best performances this season, yet we came away empty-handed. We can be proud of our efforts, but ultimately, our opponents were stronger. That’s the main reason for our loss.”
