After the game, Peseiro shared his thoughts, saying, “First of all, I’m happy that after 15 friendly matches, we finally got a win for the first time in four years.”

He emphasized, “We were better than this team (Mozambique). I think my players felt it was easy. I’m not happy with the performance of the players.

We didn’t manage the game well; we had too many poor passes, poor crosses, and poor finishing, which I don’t like.” Peseiro concluded by saying, “We should have scored more goals; we created so many chances to score say eight goals.

We played better than this performance; my players need to stay more concentrated.”
