After the match, Jorge Vilda spoke with the international players and shared the following with them: "I, along with everyone else, am really proud of what we saw on the pitch.

Our national squad has a bright future”.

When confronted with the new goals that would emerge in the future, the coach declared that "Today was challenging; we will need to process it over the next few days and then evaluate what we did well and what we can do better in the future.
