Norwich City head coach David Wagner says it's only half-time in the tie, after the side's goalless draw against Leeds United in the first leg of the Sky Bet Championship play-offs.
The Canaries drew 0-0 against Leeds in the first leg at Carrow Road, setting up Thursday's second leg at Elland Road.
"It was a very intense game. Quite even, I think. The guys have done fantastic, put in a proper shift," Wagner said.
"Both teams neutralised each other, there were not a lot of clear cut chances. Half-time, 0-0 and still fully in the game. I'm absolutely satisfied with how the guys defended, how they worked their socks off.
"This means we keep going, we keep pushing. We recover and prepare for Thursday, a great occasion. This is exactly how I look on it, it's half-time, 0-0.
"First two games of the regular season, we lost. First step we've done, kept a clean sheet and a draw. Now the next step is on Thursday."
The head coach also spoke about Josh Sargent, who went off late in the second half with a knock, as well as highlighting the supporters.
"He was not able to carry on. He's had some problems with his ankle, I haven't spoken with him or the medical staff yet, but he's a tough guy.
"I'm sure he will be ready for Thursday, which is a very, very big game. I really liked the occasion today, the atmosphere was fantastic.
"The players were able to keep their focus and concentration high against a team like this, with this quality, if you switch off for a second you will get punished.
"This never happened today, this is great to see. Unfortunately, we were not able to find the clear cut chances. The shift was fantastic.
"This play-off semi was never going to be decided in the first leg, it will be decided in the second leg. We're in the race."
