Crawley Town boss John Yems was full of pride after their 3-0 FA Cup defeat of Leeds United.
Marcelo Bielsa's team had no answer to the second-half salvo of a side sitting sixth in English football's fourth tier.
"You've got to enjoy these days," Yems told BBC Sport. "These players have got a lot to prove to the clubs who have released them and we showed what we can do against a really good side in Leeds.
"It wasn't me versus Bielsa. He does what he does and I do what I do. He was very complimentary afterwards but I suppose if you lose 3-0 you can't do anything but."
Whites midfielder Ezgjan Alioski congratulated Crawley on producing "the game of their lives" while BBC Radio 5 Live pundit and ex-Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford said "they played out of their skins".
