Post-Match Reactions
“We did what we had to do, even if we were a little timid in the opening 15 minutes. After that, we showed our ability to create chances; the only regret is that we weren't clinical enough in the first half. The knockout stage is difficult for everyone, even if we made things a little easier for ourselves today. We're only in the last 16.”Source: Media Selangor (AFP)
“I personally haven't seen a better team (than France). The quality they have all over the pitch and then the options for them off the bench are very, very strong.”Source: The Tribune (ANI)
