Nemanja Radonjić delighted the travelling Zvezda fans with his extra time winner at Spartak Trnava. Naturally, he was thrilled after the match.
"It was a perfect pass from Ben. When it left my right foot it actually seemed to me that it will hit the crossbar! I was so happy to see it go in after all. After scoring in the last Večiti derbi, this goal has the be the biggest of my career so far. It wasn't easy because I have had injections for the pain prior to the game. Around 70 minutes into the match I felt that I needed to go off, but now I'm glad I kept plugging away. All the hard work and sacrifice was worth it."
It was a demanding match in Trnava - all 120 minutes of it.
"It was extremely physical. Besides, their early goal was a blow. But I remember thinking that we just need to remain calm and try to score as soon as possible. And we did! Ben scored a great header to level. It was a good reaction."
Final whistle in extra time marked the start of wild celebrations in the away end.
"The fans were terrific! I'd like to thank them for travelling in their numbers to support us and help us get this win. The players won't celebrate that much, though - we have to preparing for next Tuesday's Play-off match with FC Salzburg. We'll do our best to reach the group stage of UEFA Champions League!"
