The head coach Samira Hurem stated after the match:

“I congratulate my players, because we played a tactical good game against the best national team in Europe. We unluckily received the first goal. In the end, we had one player more and wanted to score, but we received a second goal from the penalty kick. Congratulations to England for winning. I thank these wonderful spectators for their support. I also thank the media representatives who have also been with us all the time. We will continue the qualifications in June and we hope that we will win points against Kazakhstan and Wales.”

The media was also addressed by the national team’s player Melisa Hasanbegović:

“We can say this is a good result for us, because England is one of the best national teams in Europe. We have to start thinking about next matches against Kazakhstan and Wales, because we want to win points against them.”

The head coach of England, Phil Neville, also praised the BH team’s game:

“The first goal was crucial. The spirit, character and determination of the BH players were at the high level. We had a similar match against Wales on Friday. We attacked all the time, but we also had to be patient. This brought us today the result that we desired. This was an incredible experience; I am in BH for the first time. Excellent pitch, the spectators were great and the match was perfect.”
