Afterwards, McGinn said: "We created plenty of chances and even took an early lead, but we couldn’t convert them.

"We were just a bit unlucky, or perhaps lacked sharpness. Of course, we also knew that when we went into half-time at 1-1, they would believe in themselves, and that showed, especially in the second half.

"They really played with courage and determination. That’s what got them the three points.”
