Quote of the Week:
"We're feeling good. The boys have approached the match in a very professional manner this time when we have been busy, but we were missing the competition, so it's good. After the result in Canada, we came up with big expectations of ourselves. The opener, being in front of our fans and having a good start. So, we'll get optimistic and it's going to be a long journey like always, but we're ready to do it."
- Head Coach Oscar Pareja
