POST-MATCH COMMENTS

Robert Rositoiu, Head Coach:
"The past 48 hours have been incredibly intense, but the players showed tremendous heart — that’s what fuels our growth, match after match. The word that comes to mind is resilience. Today was about how the team would respond under pressure. And they answered the call. Their game management was spot-on — composed, yet quick when it counted."
