World Cup qualifiers European Group B round 5, Slovenia tied Sweden 2-2 at home. Slovenia coach Cork said in an interview with SportTV after the game that the team could have won the game.
"We were eager for victory, Sweden was skilled and better on the scene, but we created better opportunities, and at 1-1, we had a great opportunity. In this game, the opponent had the advantage of possession and we had the advantage in chances. Maybe it was a fair result, but I regretted losing two points. After equalizing the score, I felt like we could have won the game. We performed well, tied the score twice, which reflected the willpower of the team and the support of the fans to push away from us again. It was a tough game, a real World Cup qualifier."
"The quick transition of Sweden made me most worried, some of our players have not reached their best yet, but they made up for it with fighting spirit. Indeed, the importance of this kind of game is also In the goal, both sides made mistakes, but this is the football game. The indomitable spirit allowed us to equalize the score in the 90th minute. This game shows that as long as we play at the level, we can compete with our opponents. "
"I completely agree that the team performed better in the second half. At a certain time, we respected Sweden too much. When we started to actively confront each other, the game became evenly matched. Obviously, you can't give such a team too many opportunities, and they can't let them organize their offense and passes calmly... Our first goal was due to our own mistakes. Although there is still a lot to improve, the players never gave up. This point is the reward they deserve. Although I am not very satisfied with it, I am also very happy that I didn't lose because Sweden also lost two points. "
