"The guys were great with the tension, had chances and scored with one," Bosz said.

"There was nothing going on until the last minute of the first half, when everything went wrong. Lyon started to believe in it and then you know it is difficult. But in the end, especially after the red card for Nick Viergever, we had to survive. Call it a victory for football." Bosz said.
"A chance to play in the final is nice, but finals you play to win," he added.
