Mohammed and Aziz said , “We are happy today because we beat the Netherlands. We played better than them; they defended against us for 120 minutes,” The match was difficult, but we have players we are proud of. We knew who we were playing against, because the Netherlands is a tough team that plays well. But they did not scare us because they focused on defending, while our players are very good.”
