We had some bad luck with the injury to Serhou [Guirassy], who had to come off. In the second half, we were improved in our assertiveness and intensity in one-on-one duels. The referee didn\u2019t call every foul during that phase. That can create a certain kind of game and really get the fans into it. Almost everything we tried worked out at that point.
