“We played against a very good opponent, who was technically very well prepared. The Mexicans were very fast and aggressive, which meant more responsibility for us. Thanks to our quality, we didn’t give Mexico many chances. The opponent was only dangerous from stoppages, and that’s how they scored and hit the frame. On the other side, we had a few more chances, hit the crossbar ourselves and had a chance to score the winning goal at the end of the game. I congratulate my boys for a very good game. Now we have to face Iceland, who are also considered a very unlucky team, which means that we have a far from easy job ahead of us,” is for NZS website selector Anton Žlogar said after the match.
