She assessed that the players were able to take advantage of opportunities well when facing Rato Bangala. Even so, Sasi reminded that this big victory should not mean her team should lose focus.
During the first match against Nepal, the players still showed high enthusiasm even though they knew the team they were facing had a level of play slightly below ours. I really appreciate their struggle, they maximized every opportunity they succeeded.
