“This victory reserves us a place in the quarterfinals of the competition. We were beaten, tested, but intact,” Mangut told the club’s media.
“Letting a 2-0 lead slip away at such a dying moment is the most dangerous result in football.
“Many teams will not survive that, but I thank God and praise my charges for the character shown from the place.
“Honestly, what you need to go deeper into this competition is that it doesn’t offer you a second chance to make amends.”
