At the end of the match, the head coach Adin Mulaosmanović stated:
“As for today's game, we must be satisfied. There was a desire of our boys to win and they deservedly reached it in the end. We had some luck, because, after 2:0 in the first 40 minutes, we quickly received two goals in the second half. After that, we played under a certain pressure, but we managed to score a third goal and deservedly won.”
Mulaosmanović is pleased with a performance in the tournament:
“The tournament served its purpose. We played three quality matches and saw all the players we have at this moment available. In the upcoming period we will have more matches and we will check more potential national players. There is plenty of work ahead of us, but we will be ready to meet qualifications.”
