Antti Karhula, head coach DAB: Overall I think this was a good game, we did everything well except score goals. I can not blame the team for the way they played. Both goalies played really well in the game. Our PK worked well except for one time, unfortunately this was enough for UTE to score a goal.
Zoltán Szilassy, head coach, UTE: We had our goalie playing great and this was what was the key to our victory. Getting a shutout win is a great feeling, we picked up three important points.
