Quotes

"It was a tough game for us, it was really hot. Portugal are a really good team. Maybe I scored my last goal of the tournament today but we will do our best to win our last game," James Naka, Solomon Islands player.

"We're very pleased with today's win. We trusted in ourselves and we reached our goal. We respected Solomon Islands but when you enter the pitch it's important to win, and this is what we did," Belchior, Portugal player.
