René Pauritsch, Liechtenstein coach
Our team played very well and showed a lot of character. In the first half Montenegro had some big chances but did not manage to score. This made us stronger and towards the end of the game, with a bit of luck, we could even have scored a goal and won the game. But I am satisfied with how my boys played.
Branko Brnović, Montenegro coach
We did not expect a draw here. We wanted three points from this game but I have to congratulate the Liechtenstein team. They defended very well and deserve a point from this match. We had approximately 25 chances to score and played well but did not manage to get the goal.
