"They worked really hard, they fought for each other.
"We should win the game in the end, when you look at Johnny's two chances.
"The performance was really good. Slightly different to our normal (game) but really good.
"They score a lot of goals and we didn't give up one shot on target, which was really, really pleasing.
"We knew we'd have to defend something from those corners. But we defended them really well. Overall, we nullified what they did and we should win the game."
Nugent was sent off for a second bookable offence on 81 minutes, though Bradley was severely miffed by the first yellow, in particular.
"I was disappointed. Darragh's first yellow card is not a yellow card. Both (players) came together.
"The referee is very quick to give it. He listens to the noise rather than the actual tackle.
"The fourth official and the linesman were brilliant to deal with all night, there was real dialogue between them and us. But I thought that was really poor from the referee on the first yellow card."
It is their fourth tilt at the Champions League in Bradley's reign, which has so far yielded one victory, a 3-0 aggregate victory over Hibernians of Malta in 2022. They will have an opportunity to add to that in Tallaght next week.
