"I congratulate them on the win. They played really well, while we did not. In the first-half we played average so I wouldn't have complained if it all ended with a 1:1 draw. In the second half we played poorly," was the honest comment of Nikola Jurčević, West Ham's assistant coach. He was in charge of the London club in the first leg of the Europa League 3rd qualifying round in Ljubljana, because of coach Slaven Bilić's suspension. The night ended with a sensational victory by Domžale of 2:1.

"Our coach got it into our heads that they're people, just like us. He told us to play without fear. In the 5th minute of the match we saw that we could be competitive. Luckily things fell into place and we won," said the pleased scorer of both of Domžale's goals, Matic Črnic.

The hosts played a courageous and uncompromising match from the first to the last minute and were constantly at the heels of their opponents. It was the real recipe for success. "In the Premier League teams don't put a lot of pressure on the defensive lines. We wanted to surprise them and prevent them from imposing their typical game," coach Luka Elsner revealed the recipe for the most resounding victory in the history of the Domžale football club.
