Following their defeat Grant believed the result was harsh on his side. “It was a tough game, a very tight game,” Grant told the official site. “They scored from their strengths, a throw-in and a free-kick. We fought hard but that was the difference.
“We didn’t start well and they did. They had energy, they closed us down and knew our strengths. It was difficult to play our game but slowly we started to pass the ball better.
“A draw would have been a fair result. From the open game, they didn’t create a lot of chances even if they played with a lot of energy. But they won the game and I wish them all the best in the semi-finals.”
