What people are saying
It is impossible. You cannot win the championship like that.
It was an important three points.
Riku Yamane stood out a lot in the first half. His willingness to carry the ball forward and his ability to build the game made a difference.
We knew they were strong in the first 15 minutes and that they score in that period, but even though we shared that, they still did it to us.
