Reaction from goalscorers in FCN win

Youssoufa Moukoko, Pantelis Hatzidiakos and Yoram Zague got on the scoresheet for F.C. Copenhagen in the 3-1 win over FC Nordsjælland on Friday.

For Moukoko and Zague, their strikes marked their first ever for the Lions and all three caught up with FCK.dk after the game to discuss the result and performance.

Moukoko: Now it finally worked
"It was a difficult game, but we got the three points we were after,” said Moukoko, whose header started the comeback from a goal down.

"It was of course great to score my first goal for the club. I had many opportunities to score last time, and now I finally succeeded. I want to continue that, so hopefully it was just one of many, many goals for F.C. Copenhagen."

Hatzidiakos: I took Gabriel's position at the goal
Hatzidiakos had three headed goals to his Lions account before the match in Farum but let his feet do the talking when he put us 2-1 ahead.

"Normally Gabriel has that position on set pieces, but he was taken out, so when the ball was put in I got a good touch and then scored a bit of an old-school goal with a toe-prod, but a pretty cool goal, I think,” said Hatzidiakos.

He acknowledged that there were several things the team could do better, such as coming out slowly after the break. And then there was also Zague's celebration after his goal in stoppage time.

“Ha-ha, he was just so happy, and it was great to see, but we have to work on that a bit too,” smiled Hatzidiakos.

Zague: My shoulder is OK
Indeed, Zague celebrated after his rocket in stoppage time wrapped up the win the FCK and fell into the barrier behind the goal.

Speaking afterwards, he said: "My shoulder is okay. I have to practice a little in training and come up with a different celebration the next time I score.

“But I am very happy to have scored my first goal for the team. It is a fantastic feeling and it means a lot."
