Boyan Yordanov after the match:
"Congratulations to the Floisvos team! It was a hard-fought match, worthy of watching. Unfortunately, we couldn't prevail against a strong opponent. I believe both teams shouldn't have been fighting for survival, but that's how things turned out. It was a very difficult match for us we were already pushed against the wall after two losses and had to show a better game. In many moments we did, but in the end, victory is the most important thing. Once again congratulations to Floisvos!"
