It was a good game, we played with a strong team and I am glad that we won. We parlayed the defence and fulfilled the plan for the game. When we scored the fourth goal, the goal difference was two, and it became much easier for us. But we missed one immediately and had to chase the lead again. I am sure that every player contributed to the victory.
