U16 women assistant coach Daniel Bartell: “We were able to celebrate an easy and deserved victory. The opponent was inferior in terms of running and was rarely able to put our defense in trouble. The exploitation of opportunities was particularly effective at the beginning of the middle period. There we managed to pull away to 4-0 and force a preliminary decision. Now we have to focus on tomorrow’s game against Japan in order to be successful again with a courageous performance.”
