Post game quote

National Coach Adrian Santrac

This game was more pleasing - the performance, especially in the first half, was very good. We started the game very well and extremely positively and had some fluent and effective passages of play. We created several chances in the first half and will have to work on our finishing to ensure that we close out games when the opportunities are there. A very positive result and we're looking forward to settling now in North America coming into our final preparations for the World Cup.
