“I’m glad that we showed a good game, even if we defended ourselves more. We could have tied, but missed the chance. Veris deserved the victory. It is better than we and includes many valuable players. We yet hope to do well this season and not to be at the bottom of the rankings,” said the coach of Zaria Nicolae Bunea.
