"We can­not lose on Fri­day (to­day) and I ex­pect our per­for­mance will be bet­ter than tonight (Wednes­day)," Bateau said af­ter the match. "We did not take our chances and maybe we took a lit­tle long to set­tle. But now that the first game is out of the way, we know what is in front of us and what we need to do to get in­to the next round. "You can ex­pect all the play­ers to give their best against Mex­i­co be­cause we know they are con­sid­ered the gi­ants and we must try to pull off the best re­sult for us at this stage of the tour­na­ment." Vranes com­ment­ed: "It was not the re­sult we hoped for be­cause of course we were play­ing for a win. But okay it's one point for us and for them and now it's in our hands in the next game against Mex­i­co. "We have seen Mex­i­co play al­ready and we know what to ex­pect from them. I will not say too much more oth­er than we need a good re­sult to ad­vance in the tour­na­ment."
