Postecoglou praised his team's performance, saying they were "outstanding" and "well-organized" defensively, while also creating good opportunities and maintaining pressure on the opponent. He noted that the late goal didn't reflect the team's dominance in the game, but if they repeat their performance in the second-leg, it will be enough to secure their advancement.

The manager also thanked the team's supporters, saying they added energy to the team and played a massive role in their performance. He acknowledged that the team has had a tough season, but the European nights have been special, and the fans' support has been crucial.

Postecoglou is aware of the challenges that lie ahead, including navigating Bodo/Glimt's artificial pitch in the second-leg. However, he remains confident that if his team replicates their performance from the first-leg, they will be difficult to stop, regardless of the surface.

When asked about conceding a late goal, Postecoglou said that he believes the team's performance gives them the belief that they can win the second-leg, and that the scoreline doesn't reflect their dominance in the game.
