Oded Katash

said at the end: "Romania stayed in the game and showed a lot of character, both teams did a pretty good job under pressure on the ball, it was not always beautiful for us, not our best game, but the most important thing is that we won. We showed enough effort in defense because In the attack we had a hard time with our percentages from the outside, we lost a lot of balls, we gave them a lot of second chances, but most of the game we interrupted them to develop their normal game.
