With a little more luck we could have got the win. An unexpected one, but a win nevertheless. It would have been a fantastic start for us," GCC's Philip Donkor said after the match.

António's César Manuel Oliveira had another wiev on the match. "We were the better team today. They played a good match but we deserved the win we got".
