Head coach Jovovic said he could not fault his players at all as they stayed focused from start to finish.

"I think our performance was excellent from the first to the last minute. We made only one mistake from a corner kick, which led to a counter attack and then a foul on the 25-metre mark. It was an excellent free-kick from the Muras captain.

"But I am so proud of my players as we continuously trusted each other, believed, we created chances. In fact, we became more stronger, more serious offensively and we were like that to the end," said the Montenegrin.

Jovovic said the victory belonged to the entire squad and the Kuwait SC fans, especially after such a trying period.

"We have not played (competitively) in almost two months. We came here with 10 days of preparation and two friendly matches but we showed great spirit."

"Now it is time for the players and the staff, who did such a great job, to celebrate and think of the final."

Victory over Svay Rieng on May 13 will add to the three AFC Cup™ titles Kuwait SC have to their name and Jovovic and his players will spare no effort in doing so.
