"We could have scored a third goal and I'm glad Slovenia did not capitalise on our mistakes", he said after his side stretched their unbeaten run at the Lviv Arena to 14 matches. His global goalscoring record is incredible - he is his country's second-highest scorer with 21 goals in 54 games and his proficiency in front of goal will be crucial if - and when - Ukraine qualify for the finals.

"I think my players understand what they have to do and I should not need to find any additional words [of motivation] for the second leg".

Slovenia make the trip to the Ukraine for their first head to head meetign in sixteen years. "We had a chat when we assembled and we must show that evil can not be allowed to win, that football is important on days such as this". "The result is hard for us but there is nothing impossible in football".
