Van Gaal said: "They had the present of an Anthony Martial penalty. "Martial is a human being, he reacts and it is a stupid reaction, but sometimes these things happen. "He said it is the first time it happens to him, if it always happens with me it's a pity.'' "I was very happy with the performance," Van Gaal said. "I knew in advance that it would be a very difficult game because CSKA are very well organised and compact. "The tempo was too slow in my opinion, I said that at half-time, and improve our tempo and switching the game from side to side. "We did that better in the second half than the first half. We created more chances and could have won, but I think it is a deserved draw. "I will be happy with a draw better than a win, we now have two home matches and you can say we are very strong at home and I hope we can win these games so we are nearly qualified or qualified, but we also have a game away to Wolfsburg. "We are on schedule [to qualify] after the PSV Eindhoven defeat, which was a very strange defeat for us."
