Fonseca: Winning is always important

- Well-deserved victory in the encounter with a good team. We were very strong early in the game. Quite early we managed to score, giving Braga next no chance of leaving their half of the field. We created some great chances, lacking just one more goal. However, I think,  the result was well-deserved by half-time. In the second half, early in which they sent off Fred, the team continued to excellently prove themselves. We felt absolutely comfortable even after our important player had been sent off, still keeping the lines. Almost never I felt that our goal was in danger. Braga had only one opportunity to excel. Even with ten men, we created chances and could score even more goals. I think that Fred’s suspension was somewhat wrong. The guys from my technical team said that this was not quite fair - there should have been a penalty. In my view, that’s the unfair part of today’s game. In the next match, we will be left without a quite important player for us. In the first half, there was also an episode when they might have awarded a spot kick against our opponents, but it never happened. That’s not quite fair as well. Speaking about Stepanenko, he felt unwell, and they carried him away on a stretcher. Thank God, now he is better. Hopefully, everything will be fine. And I want to note that there was another situation when the referee could show a yellow card: when Butko brought me down on the sidelines.
