Comments
Alkiviadis Zisidis (Greece): We played very good game. I have to thank the team for the game, especially in the first two periods. This last is far from being according to my ideas. But satisfaction dominates now.Mohammed Naveed (Pakistan): I`m sorry about the performance mainly in the second period, where we clearly fell. In conclusion, although we raise, but turned the state from 0:4 in our favor it was impossible. We wanted to win today, but we unfortunately failed.
