Coaches´ Quotes

Ctibor Coufal (CZE): „We started the match better than the morning one. We were lucky to score the first goal and managed to dominate the Slovak team. Unfortunately, we didn’t add another goal, and instead conceded twice from similar situations we had warned the girls about.“

Marián Hambálek (SVK): „It’s tough to play two games in a row. The Czechs started well against us, and some of our girls struggled to respond. However, they eventually found their rhythm and showed great fighting spirit. In the end, it was a good match.“
