In the second round of the group stage of the Europa League "rosso-neri", the home team defeated the Croatian team with a score of 3: 2.

In the course of the match Milan led 2-0, but allowed the opponent to recoup, only in the added time managed to snatch victory.

According to the head coach of the Italian team Vincenzo Montella, such a scenario of the match will go to his charges for the benefit.

"It was a useful lesson for us - we need to play after 70 minutes," said Montella.

"Nevertheless, I was pleased with the morale of the team - in this respect, Milan took a serious step forward. It was he who allowed us to win the victory, because in the end of the fight we had no strength left at all ".

"We need to work on the game in defense, while it is necessary and sharper counterattack. Rijeka played very aggressively, and we had to create more moments at their gates. Now we can not hold a high-level match.

My task is to fix this ".

"This fight gave us more positive experience than would give an easy victory. Therefore, the glass is rather half full, than half empty, "- summed up Vincenzo.

The next duel within the framework of the Europa League "rosso-neri" will play on October 19 at home against AEK.
